A police incident at Vancouver’s Waterfront Station caused major transit disruptions on Sunday.
TransLink said the station was shuttered around 10:40 a.m. due to the incident. There were also several related bus detours in the area.
Metro Vancouver Transit Police said the shutdown was “out of an abundance of caution” after a threat was reported to the station.
Transit police deployed explosive detection dogs and Vancouver police deployed drones to assist the investigation.
Photos showed Cordova Street in front of the station blocked by police tape, while social media users reported a “massive police presence” on site.
Transit Police urged people to avoid the area.
“Transit Police is working hard with our partners to resolve the situation quickly and safely,” the agency said in a social media post.
TransLink said Expo Line trains were terminating their route at Burrard Station and that SeaBus service had been suspended. It said bus bridges were being put in place.
The Canada Line and Millennium Line were not affected.
