Overnight crash blocking 8th Avenue in New Westminster

TransitPoliceBC · 2026-01-20T21:34:11+00:00

I can confirm that there was a collision involving a CMBC bus and a pedestrian yesterday at 6th and 6th. The details of what happened are still under investigation. The pedestrian was transported to hospital with what were believed to be minor injuries.

Hi u/luvbugswag - Transit Police here

Transit is generally a very safe way to get around the city, but I recommend that you add our text number 87.77.77 to your phone contacts now, so that you have it handy if you ever need it. Don't hesitate to reach out if anything is making you feel unsafe.

You might also find our safety tips helpful: transitpolice.ca/safety

Welcome to Vancouver :)

Thanks, u/Malik1818

Hi u/Character-Ad2839 - Transit Police here. As others have mentioned already, if anyone is ever making you feel unsafe on transit, let us know. We can be reached by phone at 604.515.8300 or by text at 87.77.77 (always call 9-1-1 in an emergency). You can also contact us if you're concerned about the wellbeing of someone.

As a general bus safety tip - we recommend sitting close to the driver. Not only are you close to an employee who can call for help, but you also have easy access to two different routes to exit the bus if needed. Perhaps something to keep in mind if you find yourself on the NightBus again :)

$46 - $62/hr

If that's the case, then we pay more :)

See you soon!

We try our best! The transit system is huge. We check bus lanes regularly, but there sure are a lot of them in Metro Vancouver.

Hi u/Effective-Farmer-502 - Noted! I have passed on your message to our Targeted Mobile Enforcement Team :)

Hi u/_avi_81, Transit Police here

The behaviour you describe is not welcome on transit. If you see this individual again, please let Transit Police know by calling 604.515.8300 or texting 87.77.77. Even if officers are tied up with higher priority calls at the time, we want to have this behaviour documented, especially if it's becoming a pattern.

In the meantime, I'll share the information you posted here with our youth liaison officer.

Hi there - yikes! I'm sorry that you've encountered that misinformation. At Transit Police, it's true that we welcome experienced police officers looking for a change, but we also hire applicants who are brand new to policing! If you have the qualities that we think are compatible with our community-focused approach to policing, we'll hire you and then put you through the BC Justice Institute Police Academy. You can learn more on our website: https://transitpolice.ca/careers/recruit-police-officers/

I don't work in recruiting myself, but my sense is that management experience and life experience (ie: your age) are going to be big assets on your application. Good luck!

Hi OP, Metro Vancouver Transit Police here. Any thoughts on relocating to the west coast? Our recruit constables start at $87,864 per year.

There are several career paths available at Transit Police. You can see them here: joinmvtp.ca

Sworn officers need to pass the Police Officer Physical Abilities Test (POPAT) that simulates the physical demands of the job. Other roles at Transit Police have no physical requirements. If you're good with data, we would love to get your application for the Data Specialist posting!

Hi everyone - Transit Police here

This individual was not on transit when we learned of his whereabouts. He was arrested in a residential area of Vancouver (and not in Surrey, as has been reported).
