Public Transport

In Vancouver, private vehicles are the most popular mode of transportation. Mass transit includes local buses, Skytrain, and Seabus. A Translink Day Pass, which can be purchased at many stations, grocery stores, and 7/11s, can be used on all of these. Bicycle rental is another very popular way for visitors to get around the city and cover more ground than walking. Several companies located around the city offer these services. Vancouver has a comprehensive public transportation system, which includes buses, trains, and ferries. The main agency responsible for public transportation in the city is TransLink, which operates a network of buses, trains, and ferries that serve the Metro Vancouver area. Buses: The bus system in Vancouver is extensive, with routes serving the city and surrounding areas. Buses run frequently, and many routes operate 24 hours a day. Trains: The SkyTrain is Vancouver's rapid transit rail system, which consists of three lines: the Expo Line, the Millennium Line, and the Canada Line. The SkyTrain serves a number of cities in the Metro Vancouver area, including Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, and Richmond. Ferries: The SeaBus is a passenger ferry service that operates between downtown Vancouver and the North Shore. The SeaBus operates every 15 minutes during peak hours and every 30 minutes during off-peak hours. In addition to these services, TransLink also operates a number of other public transportation options, including community shuttles, HandyDART (a door-to-door service for people with disabilities), and the West Coast Express (a commuter rail service). Public transportation in Vancouver can be accessed using a variety of fare payment options, including fares paid in cash, fares paid using a Compass Card (a reloadable electronic fare card), and fares paid using the TransLink mobile app.
