Start with the official Route 430 schedule or map page.
Select toward Metrotown or toward Richmond-Brighouse.
Use stop name, stop number, station bay or nearby landmark.
Look for detours, closed stops, canceled trips and delays.
Traffic on Bridgeport, Knight and 49th can change the prediction.
Use TransLink’s route schedule/map and Trip Planner for route schedules, real-time Next Bus departures and transit alerts.

Route 430 accessibility, wheelchair icons, strollers and bike racks
TransLink’s route information explains that wheelchair icons identify whether a stop is accessible for customers using wheelchairs, strollers and other mobility aids. Route 430 buses also have front bike racks with capacity for two bicycles.
Check the stop-level accessibility icon. A green wheelchair icon indicates an accessible stop; a red mark indicates the stop is not accessible for wheelchair users, strollers or other mobility aids.
Large stations are easier than temporary curbside stops. If there is a stop closure or temporary stop, check whether the alternate boarding point is accessible.
Front racks hold two bicycles and are first-come, first-served in practice. If the rack is full, wait for the next bus or use another route.

Route 430 tips that save time and prevent wrong-way trips
If your trip involves Canada Line, Bridgeport Station is the key transfer point. Confirm whether your next 430 is heading toward Metrotown or toward Richmond-Brighouse before leaving the platform area.
Cash is fine for a simple bus ride, but Compass, Compass Ticket or contactless payment is much easier when transferring between Route 430 and SkyTrain.
The timetable lists specific stopping procedures. Check your exact stop instead of standing at a nearby intersection and assuming the bus will stop there.
The end-to-end ride can be much longer during busy periods because the route uses Bridgeport Road, Knight Street and 49th Avenue. Recheck live arrivals and allow buffer time.
