Bus To Vancouver
Taking a bus to
Vancouver
is a common way to arrive in the city. Usually, people who are traveling on a
budget like backpackers tend to take the Greyhound bus or the Amtrak train from
Seattle
and other places as well.
Located at the intersection of Main & Terminal
(the bus and train terminal), The Vancouver train station is also used as the
Vancouver train station after it was refurbished after years of neglect and now
is home to both the Greyhound bus depot as well as the bus station.
 The surrounding area is very close to the old site
where
Vancouver
hosted Expo 86 and as the city gets ready once again to step onto the world
stage in Winter
2010.
This part of town was once
a bustling area and you can still see all the old boarding room buildings that
would lodge travelers who would take the train and bus
to
Vancouver
in a time when airline flights to
Vancouver
(or even the Vancouver
airport)
were only a futuristic dream at best!
Bus
From
Seattle
To
Vancouver
There is usually a bus from
Seattle
that arrives every few hours at the station as well as the daily Amtrak train
that arrives from
Seattle
and departs soon after on its return trip from
Vancouver
to
Seattle
and further south down the coast which is a nice leisurely way to travel if you
have the time.
A lot of people also take year round advantage of
the scenic train to Banff and the train to Jasper as well as part of their
Vancouver vacation as longer daytrips
after they have visited all the “must
see” sights that Vancouver has to offer and they include just naming a
few:
Not to mention shopping
in Vancouver or all the great dining
there is in the city!
People don’t just take buses from
Seattle
to
Vancouver
, they travel to
Vancouver
and from
Vancouver
from all over
North America
.
Bus
From
Vancouver
To Whistler
 If you are going to Whistler
there is also a bus from
Vancouver
as well that runs year round.
Of course if you aren’t used to driving
mountainous road, especially during our Vancouver
winter season, you’re better off taking the bus from Vancouver to
whistler instead of even considering a car
rental and driving yourself up the Sea
to Sky Highway
which can be treacherous in the winter months but well worth it in the spring,
summer and fall just don’t forget your road
map which you can usually get free at most of the Vancouver
hotels here in the city.
