A super conveniently located Skytrain Station in Burnaby along the Expo line…read more This station is not that busy compared to the station before it. The station is clean. It is very quiet at night. Most people don't get on or off this station.

One of the original (Expo line) stations, on Royal Oak near Rumble…read more There is a passenger pickup area to the SE of the station, which is nice. This station is pretty old and dumpy. Pretty much unchanged since the 1980s. Futuristic look back then. Now it looks like a worn down space station. To be honest, the station itself isn't very good for several reasons. First, it doesn't actually span the road - the entrances are only on the E side. Secondly, the original station was obviously built without accessibility in mind. The staircases are narrow and steep. There are also no escalators. Looks like they added a ramp as part of a later series of renovations. Lastly, the platform area is pretty cramped. Yes it does the job, but it's definitely not one of the nicer stations in the network.

Smallish SkyTrain station at the intersection of Cambie and W Broadway. Pretty sure the overall…read morestation will be much larger when they complete the Broadway extension. As of the time of writing, there is only 1 entrance. Go down the stairs, and there are basically 2 platforms. I can only imagine how busy this place will get when the new line gets completed.

Now trudging up that hill south on Cambie, in the rain, pulling luggage, and experiencing the humidity of the Pacific NW, definitely one star.

As of the time of writing, there really isn't much at this location other than a few restaurants and other businesses.

We were staying in Richmond and decided to take the SkyTrain into downtown Vancouver. Even though…read morewe had a car we didn't want to deal with traffic or pay for parking. We walked to the station. The station was clean. It had fare gates. Side note: The Seattle area light rail system doesn't have fare gates. Payment is on an honor system and fare ambassadors are rare. Sleeping homeless people don't get kicked off the train either. Tap-to-Pay and ticket kiosks were available payment options. We got first dibs on seats because it's a southern terminus station. The train was packed by the time we reached downtown.

Terminus station for the Canada Line in the heart of Richmond, across from Richmond Centre…read more As there is only a single track feeding this station, there is only 1 platform. Basically show up and take the train out of Richmond. There is some neat mirror artwork on the platform level. Something to look at while using the escalators. Speaking of escalators, my one complaint is that the escalator only goes up. Anyone heading down has to take the stairs. With that said, I'm sure there's an elevator somewhere.

A surprisingly useful station in New Westminster. Always wondered why they would put a station here…read moreuntil I needed get across the Queensborough Bridge. The platform is quite dated and can use a renovation besides the shiny new signs. Large parts of the metal latticework are dirty and rusty. The view of Lulu Island is actually worth checking out from the platform, as this station is located high up on a hill. This station has a bus loop attached. Very useful for getting to the heart of Richmond directly, instead of having to go all the way back to downtown Vancouver.

The station platform is elevated though not completely enclosed. It's going to be cold cold cold in the winter months here! Joyce-Collingwood is on the Expo line of the SkyTrain. It opened in 1985 and has had a number of improvements and redesigns since. The station is step free with both an elevator on one end and escalators on both ends. It has the usual ticket vending machine in the ticketing lobby and turnstiles to ensure that all patrons are paying their way. The platform is an island with the tracks on each side and an overhead monitor on each to indicate when the next three trains are due. I did not notice any audio announcements. Being on the Expo line, it's direct from here into downtown Vancouver. The station is between 29th Avenue (towards Waterfront) and Patterson (towards King George or Production Way-University). It is one of the busiest stations on the network with a bus station at ground level and both times I visited, there were plenty of people coming and going or connecting to buses. The station itself was clean with no trash or litter though the ground outside could use some picking up. [Review 20862 overall - 39 in British Columbia - 1846 of 2023.]

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.
