The area also has regular bus service with bus stops on the main roads throughout the neighbourhood.

Fraser Heights History
​
This area was originally a rural farming community of small hobby farms with mostly gravel roads. There were no stop lights, streetlights or even a four way stop sign. The corner of 160th street and 108th avenue where Fraser Heights Village Mall sits today was a horse pasture until the mall was built in the early 1990's. The other corners at the intersection were all just forest. Fraser Heights Secondary opened in the year 2,000. Where now is a stoplight there was originally just a stop sign on 108th avenue. Over the years this changed to a four way stop and then to the lights with the left turn lane that is there today.
The neighbourhood has changed immensely over the years. From having less than a couple of hundred homes back then to now nearly 5,000 homes. Fraser Prospect and Fraser Ridge neighbourhoods on the crest of the hill on 112th avenue were a sand and gravel pit. Erma Stephenson Elementary was the only school in the area. Access to the area at that time was along 160 street similar to today, or from 152 street where there used to be a little exit that would put you onto 110th avenue. As the neighbourhood grew the traffic jams became legendary as people tried to turn onto 160 street from 104th avenue. The first major development in the area began with the Fraser Glen subdivision in the early 1980's.
