The only way to go to the airport!

A lot of people are unaware that getting to the airport from Lions Bay by public transit is incredibly easy, cheap and stress free. I know that having lived in a car culture in North America there is reluctance among many people to use Transit not realizing how efficient it really is. When we have mentioned it to some people they have come up with reasons, such as having too much luggage and the inconvenience.

With the opening of the new Canada Line it couldn’t be easier and if you go onto Trans Link’s website - http://tripplanning.translink.bc.ca/  it shows you all the connections and times.
At the beginning of September my wife and I boarded the C12 with all our baggage and headed to Horseshoe Bay. Five minutes after we arrived the 257 Express bus pulled in and we took it all the way to Granville and Georgia, where we walked across the sidewalk, down the escalator and boarded the Canada Line train to the airport.

At the airport you are dropped off right at the entrance to Flight Departures and for us the trip lasted exactly one and a half hours. The thing that really impressed us was that the “Trip Planner” tool was incredibly accurate and we arrived at exactly the time it said we would. Because we now get the senior’s rates and used a discount book which you can pick up at “Someplace Special “ or a 7/11 store, the cost was $2.25 each.

On our return from our vacation we used the same way to get back home and because it was a weekend and there is no extra cost for different zones the price was only $1.60 each.

For my wife and I this is definitely the only way to go to the airport and if you would like to find out more about it give us a call at 604 922 9842.
