The Sky Train is quick, clean and cheap, exactly what you want when you need to cover distance. Best of all the same ticket can be used on transit buses and Seabus! $2.50 for 90mins! More

This will cost a third of the price of a taxi and the host at the entrance will assist you with maps and travel advice More

We decided to stay in Richmond for our first Vancouver experience, only because the Skytrain had us only 18 minutes or so from Waterfront Station from Bridgeport. We didn't regret the decision. While not really an attraction, the ride is scenic when above ground, safe & most importantly: the trains run often. Great system. The best I've been on. More

When I first used Skytrain, it was a few years ago. I was very nervous and apprehensive about getting off at the right station! We took it again last October when visiting Vancouver and it is an excellent mode of transportation. The passengers are interesting to watch (people watching), it's clean, efficient, and well designed. The stops are well placed... More

This is a very clean, efficient and affortable service. YVR to/from downtown or cruise terminal is approx. 30 minutes transit time. If you are in Vancouver for a few days, consider buying the book of FareSaver (10) tickets. You can share the tickets with your spouse/travel companion. More
