All buses are designated "Fare Paid Zones", which means passengers are required by law to have a valid fare while on board the bus. Failing to pay the fare or not having a valid fare while on board the bus could result in the passenger being fined $173 and/or removed from the bus. Fare inspections are conducted by Transit Security Officers and members from the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Police Service.

All active West Vancouver Blue Bus vehicles are owned by TransLink. West Vancouver Blue Bus owned their own buses until August 2019.
West Vancouver buses are numbered by production year and unit number. For example, bus number 1201 would be produced in 2012, and the first unit received from that order. Exceptions to this are buses built before 1991 and Community Shuttles built before 2013. Since 2017, Community Shuttles follow the standard TransLink numbering system, adding a "5" in between the year and unit number to denote its place in TransLink's Community Shuttle "500" series.
