UBC Loop is a major public transit exchange point in the University Endowment Lands adjacent to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It serves mainly students, staff, and faculty of the University of British Columbia (UBC). The loop is part of the TransLink system and currently contains two temporary bus loops: one for trolley buses and one for diesel buses (the north bus loop). These temporary loops, which have been in use since 2003, replaced the old bus loop to make room for a new underground bus loop. The new underground bus loop was slated to be built beside the Student Union Building, on the site of a small mound called "The Grassy Knoll". The Grassy Knoll is planned to be removed for that purpose, a plan that is unpopular with a number of UBC students. Several students were arrested after a protest in support of the knoll was shut down by the police in April 2008. On October 27, 2009, the university announced in an open letter that because Translink was no longer committing $10 million toward the $50 million underground loop project, a surface loop would be built instead.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Open Letter to the UBC Vancouver Community )〕 On July 9, 2014, it was announced that due to construction of the new UBC Aquatic Centre starting on MacInnes Field, pedestrian and cyclist access to the bus loop would be restricted, and several stops would be temporarily moved. It is estimated the construction will be completed in 2016.〔http://parking.ubc.ca/events-news/ubc-bus-loop-renovation-summer-2014-%E2%80%93-2016〕 ==Routes== The following routes terminate at UBC Loop.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.translink.ca/~/media/documents/schedules_and_maps/stn_exch/ubcloop.ashx )〕 Routes highlighted in green are express/limited-stop. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UBC Loop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
