What is the best way to get around Vancouver BC?
The best way to get around the city is by the SkyTrain, the local light rail transit system. It will take you to almost all the places you want to go to. This system has three lines.

The SkyTrain works every day, but will be slowed down during the hours of 9 PM to 4 AM..
Is it easy to get around Vancouver without a car?
It is easy to get around Vancouver without a car, but it is very expensive. Vancouver has a safe and fast public transit system, which is probably the best choice for those who wish to travel around the city. However, the public transit system is not especially convenient for those who live in remote areas. With a car, you can drive to wherever you would like fairly easily.

But if you do, be prepared to spend a lot on gas and parking..

There are public transport systems in Vancouver. There are buses, trains, subways, and so on. The main public transport system is called Skytrain.

There are buses running around downtown Vancouver. Those buses are labelled “Downtown”. There is a bus that goes from downtown to YVR airport. However, it is a bit complicated to navigate public transport around Vancouver, because the bus stops are not standard. Most stops have no signs. So, it can be a bit difficult to find your stop if you have not been there before. In addition, there is no door-to-door transit system in Vancouver. You have to walk to where you want to go..

How safe is Vancouver?
Vancouver is actually one of the safest cities in Canada. Vancouver doesn’t have the highest number of violent crimes per capita, but it ranks number one in anti-social-behaviour calls per 100,000 population. That means there are more calls to the police about drunk, rowdy or disorderly people than any other category. As a result, some people feel unsafe in Vancouver. But the reality is very different. The number of violent crimes is far lower than in many other Canadian cities..
Does Vancouver have a subway?
Vancouver does have a subway, but the modern SkyTrain system is more of an elevated light rail system than a subway. In fact, Vancouver’s Skytrain is the longest automated light rail system in the world. It has been in service since 1985 and still going strong! A ride on the Skytrain usually costs 2 Canadian dollars and the trains run from around 5 a.m. till 12 a.m. everyday. If you want to know how to get around the city on the Skytrain, you can check out a map of the lines here: http://www.translink.ca/routes-and-schedules/maps-and-schedules.aspx. Vancouver has three Skytrain lines: the Expo Line, the Millennium Line and the Canada Line. The Canada Line runs from Downtown Vancouver to Richmond and YVR (Vancouver International Airport). Richmond has recently seen a lot of development, and the Canada Line has contributed to this development. An example of this is the development of the new River Rock Casino Resort, which is the largest casino resort in British Columbia. The Canada Line is a great way to explore Richmond and is a great public transportation option if you’re looking to get around Vancouver..
Where can I go without a car in BC?
There are many places in British Columbia where you can go without a car. Here also would be some suggestions. Arbutus Ridge in Vancouver is one of the most important places to go without car. It is so because it is situated at the most southern part of Vancouver. This place is not very big but is very beautiful. Moreover, it is very close to the city so you do not have to travel far to enjoy the place..
Is it a good idea to rent a car in Vancouver?
If you’re heading to Vancouver and you want to rent a car, I would recommend that you don’t. The reason for this is that the city is very compact and you can easily get around by public transportation. You can take the Skytrain from the airport to the Yaletown stop. From there, you can easily walk to Stanley Park, China Town and you can also take a ferry to Vancouver Island. The only time I would recommend renting a car is if you plan on leaving the city and going into the British Columbia interior..
How many days should I spend in Vancouver?
I love Vancouver. It has a beach, mountains, rainforest, city, rain, snow, trees, grass… all in one city. It’s so beautiful I don’t want to leave. But one thing everyone needs to remember when traveling is to have an open mind. People recommend about 3 days but I would recommend you to except the unexpected. Vancouver is so big and beautiful and if you want to learn and experience everything it has to offer, you should stay for at least a week. If you want to be a tourist and do the regular things, then 3 days would be sufficient, but if you want to get to know the place and it’s people and see the hidden treasures then 7 days would be wonderful. You get the gist..
