Public transportation question for Vancouver

[cos24]

We want to walk from CP to Gastown (the Steam Clock and Lookout Tower) and from there do Stanley Park and Granville Island. What buses (bus #s) should I look out for to

1. travel to either Stanley Park or Granville Island

2. and then travel to the opposite destination

3. Then back to Canada place?

 

Thanks.

It looks fairly simple to me. We're going to try it when we have our pre-cruise stay in three weeks! Yah!!

Here's the journey planner for translink: http://tripplanning.translink.bc.ca/

 

As for getting from downtown to Granville Island, an alternative to the bus is the Aquabus: http://www.theaquabus.com/visitors.htm

http://www.translink.ca/ has all the info/maps/journey planner

 

From Canada Place to Gastown is a 6 block walk, probably easier to just walk it

To Stanley Park from Canada Place (Waterfront Station is the transit stop, it's one block east of CP) , the #19 bus goes there from PEnder St (2 blocks S of Canada Place)

To Granville Island, the #50 goes from Waterfront to Granville Island
