Vancouver SkyTrain and SeaBus Tour! Making the Most of Our Day Pass

Since coming to BC, we've always wanted to try riding the Skytrain! The "above-ground" design of Vancouver's rail transit system allows travellers and tourists to appreciate the beautiful views surrounding the city. To make the most of our transit tour, we decided to get a $10 all-day pass which allowed us to hop on and off freely for the entire day! The day pass even includes the SeaBus which offers a ride from Waterfront station to the North Shore. It was the IDEAL way to tour the city!

It's really pretty in Vancouver, I love going there even for a day :D

If you live in Yaletown, Olympic Village areas you bike everywhere, faster around the Seawall by bike than water taxi. Back in the 80s, before Expo all that space around False Creek was industrial, warehouses and open land where dozens of homeless camps would spring up every night.
Seymour Street was about 8 blocks of prostitutes and drug dealers from Robson to Davie, now a 1 bedroom condo in a highrise along that walk costs an average of $1, 000, 000. And Gastown is gorgeous, I lived there in the 90s, it was a hellhole, crime was rampant and sirens were non-stop. My cockroach infested welfare hotel was torn down years ago, an apartment in the new building with a view of Blood Alley that I had now costs $3.5 million. I see people commenting on how Vancouver was so much cleaner and there were no homeless or drug problems back before Expo or even older videos of the city, they obviously weren't there. It's definitely better now than it was then. Not for the homeless, they're all packed into a 4X4 block area around Hastings and Main.

Visiting Vancouver this summer and I'm excited to travel the city using the Sky Train and Sea Bus. Thanks for the tip on Compass cards and day passes.

Nice video. If you stop at Edmonds station between New West and Metrotown and take a 10 minute walk North to Kingsway street there's more shopping, some grocery stores like save on and restaurants. Edmonds is a nice area. I used to live in Burnaby and would take the Skytrain everywhere and explored the areas. Coming back for a trip next month, this video makes me more excited to visit Vancouver again. Lol.

Nice video, lucked out with the weather. The "Quay" in New West and Lonsdale is actually pronounced "Key". I also enjoy sitting at the front of the train like Sam does!

So can you get all day pass without buying the Compass card?

[nejrolias]

I'll be visiting Canada next year and planning to go around town on the skytrain. So i don't need a compass card for a one day pass? And is there is a surcharge for the one day pass if i didn't get the compass card?

Hey! I really enjoyed the video and it was really helpful especially with the Seabus being included in the video. Great job!

[ibraheemali]

The Grouse Mountain tram should be considered public transit. Seriously, $75 per adult, $230 for an annual pass, that doesn't include any of the attractions at the top just the tram ride, you still have to pay to use other attractions such as the zipline, $115, and if you hike up the FREE Grouse Grind it costs $20 to come down on the tram. It used to cost $5 for kids and $9 for adults both ways in the 80s, less than a transit day pass now, now that's Capitalism at work and keeps the average blue collar folks away most of the time. It's sadly become a tourist attraction, rarely see locals up there anymore.
That is one very expensive Valentine's date, if your significant other springs for a day on Grouse Mountain ending with a romantic dinner at The Observatory, it didn't come cheap.

YOu can get the $6 back if you return the card.

You definitely don't have to have kids to go Science World.
