Arriving from the Airport – Vancouver, Canada

There are several convenient options to travel from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to downtown Vancouver:

Taxi & Ride-Share

Taxis are readily available at the airport, with a flat-rate fare to downtown Vancouver. Ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft also operate from designated pick-up areas.

SkyTrain – Canada Line

The Canada Line SkyTrain provides a fast and affordable way to reach downtown Vancouver. The YVR-Airport Station is located at the airport, with trains departing every few minutes. The journey to downtown Vancouver (Waterfront Station) takes approximately 25 minutes.

  • If you’re heading to a specific area within downtown, you can transfer to other SkyTrain lines or bus routes at Waterfront Station.
  • Purchase a Compass Card or a single-use Compass Ticket at the station before boarding.
