The RapidBus network launched in early 2020. The former B-Line routes disappeared into the network with R5 replacing the 95 between Burrard Station and the SFU Exchange penetrating the downtown area. Seen in September 2023 is New Flyer XDE60 19011. The livery has been toned down from that seen back in 2019 on some of the early deliveries. All RapidBus vehicles seemed to have the green-blue scheme seen here, but the buses delpoyed had no green credentials.
