Transportation in Vancouver

Vancouver's new rapid transit rail system, The Canada Line, connects YVR to downtown Vancouver in just 26 minutes. Trains run every seven minutes during peak times and every 15 during off-peak hours. It's a great way to quickly get into the city centre and beyond.  Getting to and from YVR (Vancouver's airport).
