Vancouver public transit - Day Pass question!

[JohnRy210]

Hello!

 

I am wondering where I can buy day passes for the public transit system in Vancouver. Is it true that they cost $8 CDN? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also, will the day pass work for all the various public transit systems (city bus, Seabus, Skytrain)??

 

Thank you!

$8 bucks it is.. get them as below and maybe at Sky train station machines (not sure on that through) and you can go anywhere except on WestCoast Express.

• FareCards are available at any FareDealer including 7-Eleven, Safeway, and many London Drugs.

it's a great deal & there is a skytrain/seabus station quite close to Canada Place

Hi John: The day passes are $8 CDN for adults or $6 CDN for seniors & younger children (under 4 are free) Check out this website for further info on the bus system / fares etc...

Yes you can also purchase the day pass at a fare machine in the entrance to any of the skytrain or seabus stations.

I should have added the machines take visa too!

Thanks for the great information, BC residents! I think I'll have to visit Lonsdale Quay via the Seabus and the Metrotown Mall via the Skytrain!

 

Might you know what bus I would take from the Metropolitan Hotel to reach Granville Island? Many thanks in advance!

The #50 Bus -- False Creek South (returning from Granville Island it is called Waterfront Station)is the bus route you'd take --- catch it on Granville Street (one of the few remaining buses not re-routed due to construction)

 

Alternately, you can walk to the foot of Thurlow St (Aquatic Centre) and take the http://www.granvilleislandferries.bc.ca/ or to the foot of Howe St and take the http://www.theaquabus.com/visitors.htm for a quick and inexpensive little ferry trip over to Granville Island.
