Транспорт
The 99 bus is excellent for East - West travel
This bus can be caught right out front of this place on Broadway.
During busy times, it typically comes every 5 minutes.
Something to note - it only picks up at specific spots, typically by major roads. Double check the bus stop sign you are at to make sure it's listed there.
Что взять с собой
Bring a rain jacket
Unless you are booking during the summer, you will almost always need a rain jacket.
An umbrella would also be best as well.
Best things to do after it rains - go for a walk in a park, the air is fresh and wonderful!
Транспорт
Getting downtown - take the Canada Line or Expo Line
Both the Canada Line & Expo Line will take you downtown pretty quickly. You'll need to take the 99 for 2 stops in either direction to reach the closest Canada line or Expo line station.
Depending on how far into downtown you want to go, you can also take the 8 bus along Broadway; it'll probably be around the same amount of time.
