The Government of British Columbia is naming the Surrey Langley SkyTrain extension the Dave Barrett Extension in honour of former premier Dave Barrett. The 16-kilometre rapid transit expansion will add eight new stations extending the Expo Line from King George Station in Surrey to Langley City Centre, with guideway installation currently over 60% complete. Scheduled to open in 2029, the project is projected to reach an average weekday ridership of 80,000 passengers by 2050 and include 14 kilometres of active transportation pathways.
