Skytrain is quick and avoids traffic.
Skytrain is the fastest way to travel and to avoid traffic. Take the 101 bus to Lougheed Mall right outside the house. Catch the the train to “VCC- Clark” from Lougheed station. Get off at “Commercial-Broadway “and switch to the expo line. Then take the train to “Waterfront” to get downtown.
