Services
The station is served by a bus loop with routes including the 97 B-Line, which connects it to Coquitlam Central Station. This and other bus connections to north Burnaby, Port Moody, and Coquitlam area make Lougheed Station a major transportation hub for the area and one of the busiest stations on the Millennium Line.
Due to the shortage of storage tracks at operation and maintenance centre, some trains are stored overnight on tracks near Lougheed station. As a result, the station also serves as the starting point for some early morning and terminus for some late-night trains to/from VCC–Clark and Waterfront stations.
Future connections include the Highway 1 Rapid Bus from Walnut Grove when the new Port Mann Bridge opens, and the Evergreen Line connecting VCC–Clark and Douglas College Station in Coquitlam (which will replace the 97 B-Line). Evergreen Line is scheduled to begin service in summer 2016.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
