Part of the [TransLink](/source/TransLink_(British_Columbia)) system, it is home to routes serving the [North Shore](/source/North_Shore_(Greater_Vancouver)) and provides connections to the cities of [Vancouver](/source/Vancouver) and [Burnaby](/source/Burnaby). Opened on October 19, 1973, it is one of the four major transit exchanges on the [North Shore](/source/North_Shore_(Metro_Vancouver)) (the others being [Capilano University Exchange](/source/Capilano_University_Exchange), [Lonsdale Quay](/source/Lonsdale_Quay_(TransLink)) and [Park Royal Exchange](/source/Park_Royal_Exchange)). The exchange is named after Charles J.{{Nbsp}}P.

It can accommodate regular-length and articulated diesel buses and community shuttle buses only. The exchange is also located a short distance from [Capilano University](/source/Capilano_University) and [North Shore Studios](/source/North_Shore_Studios). The [Pacific National Exhibition](/source/Pacific_National_Exhibition) grounds is also nearby, just across the bridge in Vancouver. The exchange is located next to a [park and ride](/source/park_and_ride) facility. Security at Phibbs Exchange is the responsibility of the Transit Security Department. Transit security officers can be found making random patrols of the exchange and conducting fare inspections on board buses. North Vancouver RCMP also make random patrols of the exchange. Bus drivers also have the ability to call for transit security agents in the event of an incident. ==Upgrades== Construction for a major upgrade of the exchange began in November 2022,{{cite news |last1=Chan |first1=Kenneth |date=November 8, 2022 |title=Construction finally begins on new $32 million TransLink Phibbs bus exchange |work=[Daily Hive](/source/Daily_Hive) |url=https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/phibbs-bus-exchange-north-vancouver-translink-construction |access-date=December 20, 2022}} with all buses relocating to street-side stops on July 24, 2023, to accommodate construction.{{Cite web |title=Temporary bus stop relocation at Phibbs Exchange |url=https://www.translink.ca/news/2023/july/temporary%20bus%20stop%20relocation%20at%20phibbs%20exchange |access-date=July 25, 2023 |website=www.translink.ca |language=en-CA}} The rebuilt exchange was completed in early May 2024.{{cite news |last=Laba |first=Nick |date=May 6, 2024 |title=Here's a look at the new Phibbs Exchange in North Vancouver |work=North Shore News |url=https://www.nsnews.com/local-news/new-phibbs-exchange-north-vancouver-8707034 |archive-date=May 7, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240507035604/https://www.nsnews.com/local-news/new-phibbs-exchange-north-vancouver-8707034 |access-date=May 12, 2024 |url-status=live}} ==Routes== {{As of|2024|5|df=US}}, the following routes serve Phibbs Exchange:{{cite map |title=Phibbs Exchange Map |url=https://infomaps.translink.ca/system_maps/exchange_maps/phibbsexchange.pdf |publisher=TransLink |date=May 2024 |archive-date=May 11, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240511235642/https://infomaps.translink.ca/system_maps/exchange_maps/phibbsexchange.pdf |access-date=May 12, 2024 |url-status=live}} {| class="wikitable" !
