Vancouver International Airport (YVR)

How to Get to the Airport

Bus (Indirect access from Downtown)

There is no municipal bus line directly from downtown Vancouver to YVR; instead, you can use a bus + Canada Line combination. For example, you can take numerous buses passing through Granville Street, Main Street, Broadway (such as 9, 99 B-Line), and Cambie Street to reach the Broadway–City Hall or Marine Drive Canada Line stations and transfer to the train from there. Reaching a station on the Canada Line from downtown by bus changes the total journey time to between 30–45 minutes.
