Arriving in Vancouver by Vehicle
If coming by car from an eastern point in Canada you would likely take Hwy 1 and if you are driving north from the US you would probably use I-5 and cross into Canada at Blaine, Washington and then just carry on. Amtrak service is available from Seattle and from Vancouver Island you would use the BC Ferry system. There are also many charter plane services that can bring you from remote locations.

Transit and Bus Services
skytrain Once in Vancouver one inexpensive and quick way to get around is by using BC Transit. Another possibility is to rent a car since all the major car rental agencies have locations at the airport or downtown or both. BC Transit has a tri-modal system consisting of buses, light rail (the Skytrain) and harbour ferries that can take you to anywhere in Greater Vancouver, including the BC Ferry Terminals, on a regular basis. This transit system won a first place award in it's class, in 1996, from the American Public Transportation Association.
