Gateway is an elevated station on the Expo Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located at the intersection of 108 Avenue and University Drive in the City Centre district of Surrey, British Columbia.[2] Connections to bus routes servicing Guildford and Newton town centres can be made at this station.

History

Gateway station was built in 1994 as part of the second extension of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the Expo Line). This extension was built to serve Surrey City Centre and included three stations; Gateway, Surrey Central and King George stations, the latter being the current terminus of the Expo Line branch to Surrey.
