    This is one of the busier skytrain station during the weekday. Most people working downtown takes the skytrain. In the spring time it has the cherry blossom. Very nice scenic view. Lots of people come here to take pictures. This skytrain is connected or kind of connected to Bentall Mall and Royal Center. Convenient location to get off. Most offices are located in this area.

    This station almost always has a broken escalator. I have a love hate relationship with this station - during the Cherry Blossom weeks it is a stunning place - with a canopy of beautiful blooms. This station is a busy one -but it seems that there are often escalator repairs going on, which can mean a lengthy climb first thing in the morning. I wish they could get this sorted out - there was a breakdown/repair that lasted for almost 2 months, not great for folks who are handicapped or require elevators - particularly in the morning rush.

    * 2012 * Caught them on a slightly cloudy day this year, but still the feeling of walking under the cherry blossom "tunnel" is a wonderful one: http://www.yelp.ca/user_local_photos?select=NXtNCMQgIzGFTwNLU9AxaQ&userid=RqR1bGDgdOPyHDnI73LeFw http://www.yelp.ca/user_local_photos?select=H1vADESzVG6UJOwdXXrUrA&userid=RqR1bGDgdOPyHDnI73LeFw Hooray for cherry blossom season!

    Great location, if your looking to travel eastbound on the Expo line or transfer at Waterfront for the airport on the Canada line this is a great option. Located steps from the Hyatt downtown and a short block to the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver this stop is both convenient and safe for tourist and locals. Remember to purchase tickets before riding the train from either the automated kiosks or a booklet of 10 at a newstand, 7-11, or Safeway. Check the www.translink.ca for route map, schedules and fares.

They've renovated the station in recent years to include more escalators, which drastically improves the pedestrian flow. However, the really not-so-good part is that they didn't reconnect the sky bridge that used to link the station with Metropolis. Heard it was some dispute between the City and the owners of Metropolis. Now everyone is forced to cross Central at street level, which makes life a lot more difficult. Knock 1 star off.

    Located on the Expo line, Metrotown opened in 1985 and has been faithfully serving the Vancouver…read morepopulation ever since. There was a pretty good rebuild between 2015 and 2018 that improved capacity and the flow of passengers due to the shopping centers and multi-story living buildings that were added to the neighborhood. According to metrics, it is the second most busy terminal on the entire SkyTrain network. The station is handicapped accessible with lift and escalators. There is also a pedestrian bridge across the road that leads to the bus terminal and shopping. It is between Patterson (towards Waterfront) and Royal Oak (towards King George or Production Way-University). [Review 20899 overall - 75 in British Columbia - 1883 of 2023.]

    Expo line station in the heart of downtown Vancouver. This station is one of the original ones from…read morethe 1980s, and it basically hasn't been renovated other than the signage. The neatest feature of this station is the really long triple escalator tunnel. Always trippy to look at when riding the escalators. Just try not to fall over backwards. There are several exits available, but the main exit branches (specifically Granville/Seymore vs. Dunsmuir) are only connected at the platform level. In other words, make sure you know which exit you are aiming for before taking any escalators. Not the end of the world if you end up going out the wrong one, but something to keep in mind. The strange part of this station is that they never bothered linking it underground to the Vancouver Centre (Canada line) station which is a few blocks away. Guessing it was a budget/cost issue during construction.

    Granville Station is one of the most centrally located SkyTrain stations in downtown Vancouver. If…read moreyou are taking the Expo or Millennium Lines and don't want to change at Waterfront Station to get to the Vancouver City Centre Station on the Canada Line, get off at this station. The station exit has an entrance to The Bay and Pacific Centre. If you need to change to the Canada Line, there are signs guiding you to Vancouver City Centre Station. If you exit into the street, it puts you on Granville Street. I found it easier to exit from this station, but a bit confusing to find the entrance to it since you are going through many underground passageways. If you need to change between SkyTrain lines, it is probably easier to just change at Waterfront Station. But if you have a good sense of direction than changing stations here is fine.

A certain chunk of it may actually be closer to Main/Science World station, which is the next station E of this one. The station is originally built with 3 platforms, but currently only 2 are used. Apparently the 3rd platform was built mainly for a shuttle service for Expo '86. One thing that's nice is that there is now decent cell phone reception inside the tunnels going into downtown. Still remember a few years back (2010s and earlier) when the entire tunnel system was a giant dead spot. For wheelchair accessibility, there are a series of elevators and ramps available at the W (Beatty) and NE (Keefer) entrances, but not at the S (Expo) entrance. Oh yeah, this station becomes a complete war zone whenever there's a concert or hockey game at either stadium. Double whammy if both have an event on the same day. In these situations it's actually better and faster to walk to and board at an adjacent station.

    Nearest station for expo line, this station is elevated compared to street level. One can use…read moretouch enabled payment methods, which makes it very convenient. But unlike other cities that uses touch payment for their mass transit, like NYC and London, where they optimize your cost, vancouver seems to charge an unusually high charge for visitors. It was $4.60 USD (after conversion) for travel in the same zone one-way per person. Our trip was less than one mile, and it cost more than an Uber ride if you have 2 people traveling together.

The booking process is easy, the manager Howie is responsive and easy to work with. The drivers are always on time and courteous. On our most recent trip, there was a terrible accident on highway 99 which delayed us 7 hrs! We had multiple families traveling on together in a large van, half children under the age of 8. The kids were going stir crazy and so were the parents. The person that was not frazzled at all was our driver Johan. He was with us the whole way, taking us to dinner in Squamish, driving us around town looking for a place to entertain the kids and wait for the roads to reopen. We ended up having to hang out at a Walmart for several hours. By the time we got to Whistler was about midnight, on a 5p planned arrival. Johan never stopped being courteous, kind, and friendly. I can't imagine how tired and frustrating the ordeal must have been for him, yet he never let it showed and it made the journey so much more pleasant despite the circumstances. We've never had a bad experience with Excel.
