Public Transit in Vancouver

Translink is responsible for all aspects of municipal transportation in Vancouver, B.C. It operates the Bus Services, SkyTrain, West Coast Express and Seabus.

Translink's Trip Planner will help users plan trips to different destinations. It tells you which route(s) to use, how long the trip will take, if there are any transfers involved and how much it costs. It will even show you if there's any walking required to get from one stop to another.

There are two main prepaid fare options for all public transit services:
