Burnaby skytrain routes 本拿比天车路线和线路和天车站

The SkyTrain rapid transit system, based in Burnaby, crosses the city from east to west in two places: the Expo Line (completed in 1986) crosses the south along Kingsway and the Millennium Line (completed in 2002) follows Lougheed Highway. The SkyTrain has encouraged closer connections to New Westminster, Vancouver, and Surrey, as well as dense urban development at Lougheed Town Centre on the city’s eastern border, at Brentwood Town Centre in the centre-west and, most notably, at Metrotown in the south.

Major north-south streets crossing the City include Boundary Road, Willingdon Avenue, Royal Oak Avenue, Kensington Avenue, Sperling Avenue, Gaglardi Way, Cariboo Road, and North Road. East-west routes linking Burnaby’s neighbouring cities to each other include Hastings Street, Barnet Highway, the Lougheed Highway, Kingsway (which follows the old horse trail between Vancouver and New Westminster), Canada Way and Marine Drive/Marine Way. Douglas Road, which used to cross the city from northwest to southeast, has largely been absorbed by the Trans-Canada Highway and Canada Way. Since the 1990s, Burnaby has developed a network of cycling trails. It is also well served by Metro Vancouver’s bus system, run by the Coast Mountain Bus Company, a division of TransLink.

温哥华架空列车的两条路线均从东西向横跨本那比市:博览线和千禧线在本那比市南部沿用前卑诗电力铁路市际电车的走线共构运行,而千禧线的专用路段则通过本那比市中部。架空列车促进了本那比市与二埠、温哥华和素里间的交通,并且造就了本那比市内数处的高密度市区发展,如东区的洛歇城购物中心(Lougheed Town Centre)和中西区的布伦活城购物中心(Brentwood Town Centre)一带,而南区铁道镇购物中心地区的发展更为显著。至于本那比市内的巴士綫则属大温哥华巴士系统的一部份,由海岸山脉巴士公司(Coast Mountain Bus Company)营运。而架空列车和岸山巴士公司均隶属大温运输联线。

横跨本那比市的主要南北向道路主要有界限道(Boundary Road)、威灵顿道(Willingdon Avenue)、皇家橡树道(Royal Oak Avenue)、肯辛顿大道(Kensington Avenue)、史柏灵道(Sperling Avenue)、葛拉迪大道(Gaglardi Way)、卡里布路(Cariboo Road)和北路(North Road);东西向的道路则连接了周边的城市,主要有喜士定街、班尼特公路(Barnet Highway)、洛希公路(Lougheed Highway,卑诗省7号公路)、京士威道、加拿大大道(Canada Way)以及海洋大道(Marine Drive)。大温地区的主要东西向高速公路横加公路(卑诗省1号公路)亦贯穿本市;横加公路和加拿大大道都已取代连接本那比市西北到东南部的道格拉斯路(Douglas Road)的大部份走线。而从1990年代开始,本那比市亦发展了一系列单车径。

Population of Burnaby 本拿比人口

While Burnaby occupies about 4% of the land area of the Greater Vancouver Regional District, it accounted for about 10% of the region’s population in 2001. It is the third most populated urban centre in British Columbia (after Vancouver and Surrey) with an estimated population of 205,261. Like much of Greater Vancouver, Burnaby has always had large ethnic and immigrant communities: to cite two examples, North Burnaby near Hastings Street has long been home to many Italian restaurants and recreational bocce games, while Metrotown’s ever-sprouting condominium towers in the south have been fuelled in part by more recent arrivals from China (Hong Kong and Macau), Taiwan, and South Korea. According to the 2006 Census, 54% of Burnaby residents have a mother tongue that is neither English nor French.

虽然本拿比的土地面积只佔整个大温哥华地区约4%,但2016年时人口是大温地区的9.5%。本拿比的人口为232,755人,是卑诗省内继温哥华和素里后的第3大城市。就像大温哥华多数的地区一样,本那比也有许多的移民社区,举例来说:本那比北部的喜士定街长期以来都有许多的义大利餐听和义式滚球舘,而铁道镇内如雨后春笋般的多层公寓建筑群,某程度上亦是拜由大中华地区(包括台湾、香港和澳门)、南韩和南斯拉夫涌入的新移民所赐。根据2006年人口普查报告显示,本那比市约有54%的人并非以英语或法语作为母语的[6]。

据加拿大统计局公布2006年卑诗省人口普查中,有关华裔人口变化报告显示,卑诗省华裔人口已在1996年至2006年间,增长2%,每10个卑诗省民,就有1人具华裔背景。其中本那比市华裔人口佔了总人口的30.3%。
