That portion of King George remained closed for several hours.
The driver of the bus remained on scene and is co-operating with the investigation, which has been taken over the SPS collision investigation unit. SPS said they have no early indications as to what caused the crash.
There have been several high-profile crashes involving TransLink buses this year, including a four-year-old who was killed at Horseshoe Bay earlier this summer. An out-of-service bus also crashed into a yard in Surrey in July, as well as another incident that left two people hospitalized after a bus careened into a bus stop in September.
