Non-Motorized Tunnel Use
The tunnel is illegal for cyclists or pedestrians to traverse. A limited fare-free shuttle service is available from April to October, during certain hours, not carrying oversize bicycles. Cyclists must wait at prescribed pickup points and compete with other cyclists for the limited carrying capacity of the shuttle trailer. Translink also provides year around regular bus service through the tunnel with standard two bike carrying racks. However, the lack of sufficient rack space translates to long waits for cyclists during peak hours. Cycling advocates have long advocated for improvement to this facility, as it is a major choke point limiting Vancouver to Tsawwassen Ferry bicycle traffic.
