The BC Emergency Health Services says they took care of one person at the scene who sustained minor injuries from the collision.
Police say early indications suggest the bus operator attempted to avoid a collision with a passenger vehicle that entered the intersection.
Photos from the scene show the transit bus veered off the road, struck a streetlight and came to a stop in a residential yard.
“The intersection was closed for a brief period of time as the collision caused the traffic pole to fall onto BC Hydro wires,” said Cst. Amanda Steed with Metro Vancouver Transit Police.
Speed and impairment are not believed to be contributing factors.
