Surrey is expected to nearly double its population and number of jobs between 2006 and 2041. However, as a city on the rise, it’s already beginning to feel the growing pains of congestion and a strained transit network. The proposed transportation improvements for Surrey include a new light rail transit system through to the Langleys as well as improved bus service.
