If you’re getting around the city, or any other, transit will be a great option as there are some road closures and many people in attendance so parking will be limited. According to TransLink, Vancouver’s first FIFA World Cup 202 match was TransLink’s busiest Saturday event since the Olympics. System-wide ridership topped one million boardings!
