History edit
The first South Surrey Park and Ride opened on May 8, 1991, located at 152 Street and Cranley Drive (now mall access for Southpoint Exchange).[1] On December 13, 1999, the park and ride was relocated so that the Southpoint Exchange mall could be constructed. The second site was located at 32 Avenue and 32 Avenue Diversion, a short distance from the original site.[2][3] The third and current South Surrey park and ride facility was opened on June 26, 2006, adjacent to the Highway 99 and King George Boulevard interchange.[4]
In November 2013, an expansion of 367 parking spots was opened, and a $2-per-day parking fee was introduced.[5] In December 2020, a COVID-19 test centre opened at the park and ride.[6]
