Buses, boats + trains

Vancouver has a public transportation system that is both economical and easy to use. The TransLink system is comprised of a network of buses, boats and trains that cover over 1,800 square km. Greater Vancouver is divided into three fare zones for all transit services, and many of these public transit vehicles are wheelchair accessible and equipped with bike racks.
