VANCOUVER — TransLink says more SeaBus sailings between downtown Vancouver and the North Shore are being cancelled as a transit workers’ job action enters its third day.

The transit authority says it expects to cancel 16 SeaBus sailings Sunday.

Six afternoon sailings have been called off — three in each direction between Lonsdale Quay and Waterfront.

Another 10 evening sailings will also be cancelled, with service reduced to trips every half hour between 6:45 p.m. and 9:15 p.m.

The first two days of the job action, which includes transit workers not wearing uniforms and refusing overtime, saw more than 30 SeaBus trips cancelled.
