New Pacific Commuter Shuttle Service

Comments 19 by Rebecca Bollwitt

A new service is launching this July that takes carpooling to a whole new level. Pacific Commuter is a motor coach program that will drive members to and from locations in Langley and Surrey to three destinations in Vancouver.

Available Monday to Friday, Pacific Commuter will do pick-ups at 7:25am and 7:35am, and return from Vancouver at 5:05pm, 5:15pm, and 5:25pm. Locations include 68 Ave at Fraser Hwy, 21277 56 Avenue, 550 West Cordova, 1088 Burrard, and 1500 West Georgia.

The buses are equipped with free WIFI, reclining chairs, a luggage compartment, a kitchen area and a bathroom. Commuters could toast a bagel and get an hour’s worth of work completed all before getting to the office.

Monthly membership is available starting at $495 a month and an annual membership is $395 a month. Imagine what you’ll save on gas, parking, and time spent on the road. All new memberships include a one week, risk-free trial.

The service launches July 3, 2012 and Pacific Commuter would like to offer a 1-month membership to a Miss604 reader to kick things off. Here’s how you can enter to win:

    Wow this would be perfect for me!! I spend $400-$500 in parking + gas commuting to my job every month in DT Van from Surrey!

  2. MARYWednesday, June 6th, 2012 — 5:10pm PDT

    this would be so wonderful I live in the lower mainland and commute downtown everyday for work!

  3. TrentWednesday, June 6th, 2012 — 5:23pm PDT

    I want this to come to Abbotsford or Chilliwack. Great news.

    would love to win this! I spend so much money on gas driving to the city and back everyday, from Surrey

    It sounds pretty good. Are there other pickup locations?

    Reuben,

    Thanks for all the great comments.

    @Reuben As we get more members that will influence where we do picks up and drop offs. When you register you submit your home address and work address and we will do our best to accomodate.

    And if you don’t win the one-month pass. Don’t worry, you can still try it free for one week!

  8. StephanieThursday, June 7th, 2012 — 8:42am PDT

    AMAZING! Ive been waiting for something like this forever. Surrey to Vancouver is painful. They should also offer a discount for a few months so people can try it out before going into the year membership!

  9. DarianThursday, June 7th, 2012 — 9:06am PDT

    @stephanie, we have a 1 week trial offer on right now

    That is the most beautiful coach I have ever seen.

  11. HarjitChThursday, June 7th, 2012 — 12:37pm PDT

    Wow! That is luxury 🙂

  12. HarjitChThursday, June 7th, 2012 — 12:38pm PDT

    I agree with several posts..communities all over the lower mainland should have this wonderful coach available at a reasonable cost of course 😉

  13. au07Thursday, June 7th, 2012 — 1:42pm PDT

    free ride for a month, AWESOME!

  14. BeverlyThursday, June 7th, 2012 — 4:09pm PDT

    Talk about commuting in style! Sign me up!

  15. VickyThursday, June 7th, 2012 — 5:11pm PDT

    Sanctuary will be mine.

    It’s a bit steep in price but such a cool idea. I commute over three hours everyday by bus and it’s terrible!
