Bridgeport is an elevated SkyTrain station on the Canada Line within Metro Vancouver's rapid transit network, situated in Richmond, just south of Vancouver. This station serves as the divergence point where the Canada Line splits, with one route extending westward to YVR–Airport station at Vancouver International Airport and the other heading south towards Richmond–Brighouse station, the primary commercial hub of Richmond.

Location

Positioned near the intersection of River Road and Great Canadian Way, north of Bridgeport Road, Bridgeport station lies adjacent to the River Rock Casino Resort. It represents the northernmost SkyTrain stop in Richmond. The Canada Line’s Operations and Maintenance Centre is located to the northeast of this station. Next to Bridgeport is a substantial park-and-ride lot offering 580 parking spaces. The city of Richmond has plans for extensive redevelopment in the vicinity, which includes new office buildings, hotels, and a bicycle parkade.

Services

Just southwest of Bridgeport station, the Canada Line diverges at a flying junction: one main line proceeds southward to Richmond–Brighouse, while another branch moves west across Sea Island toward YVR–Airport. Passengers traveling between Richmond and Sea Island transfer at this station. Additionally, Bridgeport serves several local bus routes within Richmond and acts as the inbound endpoint for express bus services originating from Delta, White Rock, and route 620 from the Tsawwassen ferry terminal. Prior to the Canada Line's inauguration, express buses from Delta and White Rock provided direct service to Downtown Vancouver. On weekdays, some Canada Line trains terminate inbound at Bridgeport.
