Rapid-Transit Travel

A rapid-transit system called SkyTrain travels underground downtown and is elevated for the rest of its route to Coquitlam and Surrey. The system has two lines: the Expo Line and the Millennium Line. These lines stop at the same stations between downtown and Commercial Drive, so unless you're traveling east of Commercial Drive, it doesn't matter which line you use. Trains leave about every two to five minutes. Tickets, sold at each station from machines (correct change is not necessary), must be carried with you as proof of payment. You may use transfers from SkyTrain to SeaBus and TransLink buses and vice versa. SkyTrain is convenient for transit between downtown, B.C. Place Stadium, Pacific Central Station, and Science World.
