R4 41st Ave

Originally outlined in the 2005 Vancouver/UBC Transit Plan as the 91 B-Line,{{cite web|url=https://www.translink.ca/~/media/Documents/plans_and_projects/area_transit_plans/vancouver_ubc/Vancouver%20UBC%20Area%20Transit%20Plan.ashx| title= 2005 Area Transit Plan | work=TransLink|access-date=July 24, 2019}} the route was planned to be operational in December 2009, replacing the 43 Express peak-only service between Joyce–Collingwood station and UBC. However, shortfalls in the 2010 TransLink budget resulted in a delay in the implementation of this route, the 95 B-Line (replacing 135 Express service on Hastings Street), and other service expansions. Nevertheless, the 43 Express was included as a main transit connection in a plan released following the opening of the Canada Line, indicating the importance of the route within the TransLink network.{{cite web|url=http://www.translink.ca/en/Schedules-and-Maps/Transit-Maps/Transit-Connections.aspx| title=Transit Connections| work=TransLink|access-date=March 8, 2010| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100317003459/http://www.translink.ca/en/Schedules-and-Maps/Transit-Maps/Transit-Connections.aspx| archive-date= March 17, 2010 | url-status= live}}

On November 23, 2016, the Mayors' Council and TransLink's board of directors approved the first phase of the 10-Year Vision, which included provisions for new B-Line routes (including the 41st Avenue B-Line) which began service on January 6, 2020.{{cite web |url=http://tenyearvision.translink.ca/downloads/Phase%20One%20Summary.pdf |title=Phase One of the 10-Year Vision Backgrounder |publisher=TransLink |website=tenyearvision.translink.ca |access-date=March 21, 2017 }} On July 23, 2019, the route was officially rebranded the R4 41st Ave.{{Cite web|url=https://www.translink.ca/Plans-and-Projects/RapidBus-Program.aspx|title=RapidBus Program|website=translink.ca|publisher=TransLink|access-date=July 23, 2019}}
