The Sky Train is clean and appears to be efficient and priced fairly. It now runs all the way to the airport. It is handy for making connections between major areas of urban Vancouver. One may purchase tickets using cash or credit cards, and they are good for 90 minutes. Two dollars and fifty cents could enable a round trip... More

The Sky Train is quick, clean and cheap, exactly what you want when you need to cover distance. Best of all the same ticket can be used on transit buses and Seabus! $2.50 for 90mins! More

We decided to stay in Richmond for our first Vancouver experience, only because the Skytrain had us only 18 minutes or so from Waterfront Station from Bridgeport. We didn't regret the decision. While not really an attraction, the ride is scenic when above ground, safe & most importantly: the trains run often. Great system. The best I've been on. More
