Welcome to Vancouver, British
Colombia, Canada
Downtown Vancouver Map
Buses
Bus and trolley fleets crisscross and cover over 1800 square
scenic kilometer putting you within easy reach of our major attractions. Many
bus routes connect directly with SkyTrain and SeaBus.
SkyTrain
SkyTrain is one of the most advanced light rapid transit
systems in the world. It can speed you to a special destination or it can be an
attraction on its own. SkyTrain currently whisks you along a scenic 28 kilometer
track from Vancouver to Surrey, in just 39 minutes. A 21 kilometer Millennium
Line is now under construction. This expansion will connect popular locations
between New Westminster, Burnaby, Coquitlam and downtown Vancouver.
SeaBus
SeaBus is a passenger only ferry which connects buses and SkyTrain in Vancouver with services in the North Shore. Enjoy one of the most beautiful inner harbour and mountain views in the city on this 15 minute trip. Operates daily between Waterfront Station and Lonsdale Quay every 15 to 30 minutes. Bikes are welcome. Accessible Transit TransLink was the first transit system in Canada to introduce wheelchair lift-equipped and low
floor-buses into regular service. Many bus routes are now accessible along with
SeaBus and SkyTrain.
Fares
Fares are the same whether you travel by bus, SeaBus or SkyTrain
and you can transfer between all three modes for the same fare. The amount you
pay depends on the time of day and the distance you travel. You may pay by cash
or by purchasing tickets or passes from ticket machines at stations or at
FareDealer outlets. Please note that Vancouver and Victoria do not have the
same fare system. Passes or tickets purchased in Vancouver cannot be used in
Victoria (and vice versa).
