Travel Around Vancouver and the Lower Mainland

During the 2010 Winter Games, there will be road restrictions, increased vehicle traffic and no parking at venues and along key routes. But there are ways to get where you need to go. Whatever your mode of transportation, the latest information you need to plan your trip to and from Metro Vancouver, around the Lower Mainland and up the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler can be found at www.TravelSmart2010.ca.

As the agency responsible for Metro Vancouver’s public transit system, TransLink offers an integrated network of rapid transit, commuter rail, buses and passenger ferries - some of the best options for getting around during the Games. Visit www.TransLink.ca to start your trip planning.

Olympic Lanes will be designated throughout the City of Vancouver to provide reliable travel between venues, accommodation, and other locations for athletes, teams, media and other official Olympic-accredited vehicles. TransLink buses will also run on Olympic Lanes in Vancouver offering faster travel along key routes.

Getting to and from Vancouver

Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is the Official Airport for the 2010 Winter Games and is your gateway to the Games. For the latest flight information, visit www.yvr.ca.

TransLink’s new Canada Line offers fast, inexpensive service to and from downtown Vancouver right to the main YVR terminal. Hop off at the Vancouver City Centre stop for close access to the BCMC. For more information visit www.TransLink.ca.
