The City of Vancouver is a coastal, seaport city on the mainland of British Columbia. Located on the western half of the Burrard Peninsula, Vancouver is bounded to the north by English Bay and the Burrard Inlet and to the south by the Fraser River.

The City of Burnaby lies to the east and the Strait of Georgia to the west. Vancouver Island, across the Strait of Georgia, shields Vancouver from the Pacific Ocean.

With its scenic views, mild climate, and friendly people, Vancouver is known around the world as both a popular tourist attraction and one of the best places to live.

Vancouver is also one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada with 52 percent of the population speaking a first language other than English.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title=”Public Transit” tab_id=”1563392785607-08d8ed55-bbe7449a-ef8d”][vc_column_text]Vancouver is served by a rich network of travel options where you are free to leave your car behind. Efficient public and private transportation is one of the reasons people choose to live here. TransLink, the regional transportation authority, provides transit services within the City of Vancouver and across the Metro Vancouver region.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Trains & Busses” tab_id=”1563392785608-cbbbd098-d4d9449a-ef8d”][vc_column_text]Rapid transit refers to the automated trains that run above and below ground. SkyTrain consists of the Expo Line and the Millennium Line. A third system called the Canada Line provides the travel from the airport to Downtown Vancouver.

TransLink provides continuous bus service throughout the day. In addition to traditional buses are express lines that make fewer stops, or smaller community shuttles that carry fewer passengers to specific areas of the City.

HandyDART is a door-to-door shared-ride service for people with physical or cognitive disabilities who need assistance to use public transit. Find eligibility requirements and other information on TransLink’s HandyDART website.

The Seabus crosses the Burrard Inlet to provide travel between Waterfront Station in Downtown Vancouver to Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver.

The West Coast Express is a driver-led train that connects Waterfront Station in Downtown Vancouver to Mission, with select stops along the way. On weekdays, five trains travel into Vancouver in the morning, and leave Vancouver in the afternoon.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Roads” tab_id=”1563392904175-faf15086-f7bb449a-ef8d”][vc_column_text]The City designs, constructs, and maintains our streets, sidewalks, bridges, and structures for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles.
