I like the Canada Line!
Seabus
The Canada Line is a fabulous addition to our city!
I love the community buses.
I like the Millennium line best!
Canada Line because I take it everyday to work. Convenient from my location and fast!
Canada line. The art in some of those stations! Just ahhh…
Love the new Canada line!
I do love the Canada Line but for the sheer fun factor I have to vote for the SeaBus, and so does my daughter.
Seabus
the Canada Line is super efficient at getting me to and from all my fave eating locales!
Seabus, even though it makes me sea sick!
I like the SeaBus the most.
The Canada Line!
The Canada Line! Living it Richmond, it’s the perfect way to get downtown fast!

The Canada Line is amazingly fast from downtown to Richmond.

Canada line all the way!
I love the Seabus! We are so lucky to have a public transit service that makes me feel like I’m on vacation
Sweet! My favorite is the Canada Line, because it’s easy to load your bike.
Canada line!!
Viva La Skytrain!
Expo line, it literally connects me to all my friends and family!
I love taking the seabus which is always exciting for my daughter..
Seabus 🙂
The seabus!
The Canada Line!
Canada Line!
The Seabus – riding it is a mini-vacation in itself, very relaxing!
While I ride the bus the most often, the Canada Line is my favorite. Mostly because if I’m riding it I might be on my way to YVR and jetting off to somewhere exciting! 🙂
I’m all about the expo line!
The Canada Line is my favourite form of transportation. I ride it everyday that I go to work!
Expo line has always been my fav since it opened for Expo.
I like the Canada Line because that’s how i commute to work everyday.
I love the Canada Line! I live in between Downtown and Richmond, and those are the two places I go to the most.
Seabus on a weekend is pretty fun
It’s not the most convenient but for the view, the Seabus is definitely my favorite. Even on a rainy day it’s pretty awesome.
The Canada Line is awesome
I use the Expo/Millenium line the most but my favourite part of transit is the Canada line.
Ever since they opened up the Canada Line, it’s been an absolute bliss riding down to Richmond! I like it the most!
Seabus!
I travel on the skytrain daily, it’s OK, but I have always like the Seabus!
I love the Canada Line – and it’s so nice to be able to walk from Marine Drive to Bridgeport, across the river, if you want to!
SkyTrain all the way!
I love the 791 in the morning
I would say I prefer buses – use them the most!
I’m somewhat biased but for sure my vote is for The Canada Line! Besides the efficiency and convenience of The Canada Line, we are thrilled about our little public art program!
I am a fan of the #19 Stanley Park for every day commuting and the Canada Line for weekending.
I love the Canada Line!
I love Seabus. Great price, great views.
I love the seabus
Millenium Line
They are all great, but I’d have to say buses since the bus driver’s are so nice… especially Robert on the Victoria 20 route!! 🙂
Canada line!
The Sea Bus connecting to the Canada Line is awesome – I have 2 young sons and sometimes we take the Sea Bus and the Canada Line out to the airport. Boats, Trains and Planes all in one day – it’s pretty awesome for them.
I use the expo and millennium line most often but I’ve taken the Canada line a few times and I must say, it’s great! Still has that new skytrain smell :p
I always prefer taking the train cause there’s no traffic and it’s generally faster!
My favourite is the West Coast Express
Oh definitely the sky train
I like taking the seabus 🙂
Millenium Line!
SeaBus!
I use the Canada Line most frequently, but I would say that I like the seabus the best for the view on clear days.
Canada Line 🙂
I’m a Skytrain girl…fast and efficient and easy!
I like taking the B Line buses. Also love how I can easily get to and from YVR using the Canada Line.
Canada Line
Canada Line
Definitely the Canada Line.
Taking transit reminds me how much I hate driving!! I love the 97-b line!!
Expo line gets me downtown to a game and back
The seabus
Expo line!
just taking the bus!
The Seabus is this city’s best ride.
Taking the Seabus is like taking a mini-vacation. Seabus is my favourite.
I like taking the seabus because of the view I get!
Canada Line. Love walking out at Cambie & Broadway and seeing the mountains.
Skytrain’s Expo line is my favourite; it’s the fastest way from East Vancouver to downtown!
Sort of like the skytrain and canada line… though it should run 24/7!!
Buses? I wasn’t aware there were any buses in the lower mainland – maybe vancouver, but their NEVER on time! In the suburbs it’s every half hour for some buses during peak hours, and these are real buses not the lame half bus shuttle things.
The evergreen line is 10 year over due. And what’s the deal with the three zone crap and 90 minute valid fare lame sauce???? Seriously translink is in need of serious over haul!! Maybe the turnstiles are a step in the right direction, but again these are 10 years too late!!
Do i love transit? No!
No I need a three zone monthly pass? Hellz yes!
I love the seabus, but I don’t get time to take it much.
The Expo Line – my kids love everything about skytrain
I love the B-Line. It gets me where I need to go fast!
Skytrain! (Millennium LIne) So fast and so clean 🙂
nightbus
I like the millennium line since I use it the most often.
The Canada Line is great! It’s nice and clean and so convenient for Richmondites to go downtown!
The Canada Line!!!
I like the SkyTrain especially the new 2009 Bombardier Mark II cars
Canada Line….brought me back to taking transit!
I love Canada Line for sure
Expo line. It’s my lifeline.
The Bus
Gotta love the SkyTrain (of all forms Expo, Millenium, and Canada Line) =D
I love the Canada Line and the skytrain in general. I’m looking forward to the Evergreen Line opening up new places to explore.
I live only a few steps from the Canada Line and it’s brilliant; very clean and well maintained, and I’m only minutes from everything I need to get to in this city!
I always prefer to take the Canada Line over other methods of transit! It’s fast, clean, steady and I feel comfortable on it!
Millenium because there is a lot of beautiful scenery on the commute from Vancouver to surrey
My favorite is the Canada Line!
Biking to the 99 and taking it up the hill to UBC
With all this great weather, it would have to be the bike!
I love the Expo line. It’s super convenient and gets me from work to home and to classes so quickly.
the skytrain when it’s not rush hour
Going to and from the airport is a breeze ever since the Canada Line opened!
Love the Canada Line..so convenient
The bus! Always an adventure on the 99 and the 3.
I love the Canada Line!
Hands down: Expo Line Skytrain!
I love the Canada Line! Clean, quiet, and it goes to YVR so no need for a taxi to the airport! 🙂
I love the Seabus, but as I don’t take it every day – I will have to say Millenium Line!
Skytrain…especially the air conditioned ones! Also like sitting in the middle of the articulated buses and pretend I’m on a ’tilt-o-whirl’. 😀
I love the Canada Line. I arrive from some place in the world, get on to the skytrain and I think: “Home, sweet home!”
Canada Line!! I love it because it takes me to convenient stops like Yaletown and Downtown Vancouver super fast to do my shopping!!!!!!
Canada Line – so fast!
I love taking the Seabus…it’s like taking a mini cruise in the heart of Vancouver! It has beautiful views going North to the mountains and South to Downtown Vancouver. If you are lucky enough to go on the Seabus heading north, make sure to stop at the beautiful Lonsdale Quay. If you are lucky enough to be riding the seasbus heading south, make sure to explore the train stations beautiful architecture.
The Expo line is my favourite. Expecially going over the skytrain bridge to Surrey on a sunny day, with blue skies and snow still on the mountains!
Skytrain
Canada line! So convenient for getting to YVR and back. I don’t have to bug anyone for a ride when I travel!

Tourists to Vancouver are lucky to have the Canada Line and Seabus. We in Vancouver are lucky to have some terrific bus drivers.
Definitely the Seabus!
The Seabus is a beautiful journey on a sunny day!
620 Xpress bus is a great way to get to and from the ferries.
I love the new Canada line when I need to get to Richmond, but nothing beats the original Expo line–everywhere I need to go downtown and beyond!
Definitely the Expo Line. I can’t believe it’s been around for so long!
Canada Line A+++
Expo Line Skytrain. It helps to connect me with rest of Vancouver.
Canada Line for sure!

I love love loveeee the sea bus!!!
Seabus!
Canada Line for sure!
The Canada Line!
Busses all the way!!! 🙂
i like taking the Canada Line, so close to home
My favourite is the Millenium line simply because I live close to it 🙂
My favorite form of transportation is a combination of the Bus from Lynn Valley and then the Sea Bus to downtown for work.
I love the Expo Line (one of the older skytrain lines available) because it brings back childhood memories where my grandpa took me from waterfront station to metrotown. These two locations were some of my favourite play day destinations. I used to think that they were the opposite polar ends and final stations of the Expo Line. As I grew older, I learned that at least one of them weren’t so true, but I still love the good old days!
I’m a Millennium line girl for sure 🙂
The Canada line is my favorite because it can bring me to richmond so much faster than bussing.
canada line!
I love the Canada Line and the Community Shuttle buses!
Canada Line if I’m in a rush, Bus if I’m wanting to get something done (namely reading), Expo Line if I want to people watch / overhear interesting conversations!
#14 UBC !! excellent journey through the city
Canada line to the AIROPORTE. 🙂
Although many people think the newest and supposedly cleanest skytrain, “Canada Line” is their favourite, I find Millennium line to be most peaceful and quiet form of transit other than commuting time. Everywhere in lower mainland goes crazy during commuting time; however, for millennium line, its comfortable seats and quiet stations give you peace and quiet during the ride 🙂 So I choose millennium line 😀
I love taking the bus!
Seabus is my fave!
I love the sea bus!
The buses in Burnaby are good. But I like Sea Bus best! (and going to Dairy Queen!)
Call me old fashion, but I like the good ol’ bus!
The Canada Line gets us downtown efficiently without the aggravation of trying to find parking that costs more than a round trip for two!
I love the seabus. Always a great view going to and from North Van!
Definitely the Expo line!
Skytrain when I have to go downtown.
Definitely the Canada line!
Canada Line straight to the airport!
Gotta love the skytrain!
The Canada Line is no means to an end!
Definitely the Canada Line!
Flying thru the sky on Expo Line Sky train is fantastic especially on a fairy sunny day! Tweeted too!!
I like Millenium line going to lougheed mall is so easy thru skytrain!but definitely i also like Canada line it’s so clean and cool inside.
