Evergreen Line Sky Train

Evergreen Line is the new 11 kilometer addition to the Sky Train transit system travelling between Lafarge Lake to Lougheed Mall

Reviewed By faithandhope2live - Coquitlam, Canada

The long awaited Evergreen Line Skytrain finally opened on 2016 December 2. The Evergreen Line operates between VCC–Clark Station and Lafarge Lake–Douglas Station. Once in awhile we will take the Skytrain. The last time we took the skytrain was in August. That time was more than just transportation from one spot to the other. Because I sat on the first car and the front seat I can see where it goes. It was just like sitting on the driver seat. I can see the cars go along the track, ups and downs and turns; like a roller coaster. That was an exciting and entertaining ride. Happy Travelling!3)

SkyTrain

Reviewed By Karen1616

Such an easy and convenient way to get from Richmond to downtown Vancouver.. We traveled from the ferries by bus which dropped at the SkyTrain (Bridgeport) Station and within 20min the train is in downtown Vancouver... The fare was reasonable.. it is two Zones .. you can pay at the stations and have to scan card when entering and exiting SkyTrain areas so keep the compass card handy!

Traveled from home to downtown Waterfront station on my way out to Richmond. Easy way as you download a day pass on to your compass card & just tap your way along. Senior rate is very affordable. Thank you to the staff member at the Maple Ridge station for there help answer my questions.

Kaoham Shuttle

Reviewed By Alofoz - Brisbane, Australia

This is the working rail shuttle between Lillooet CN station and Seton Portage station with a couple of whistle stops along the way. It's the working shuttle lifeline for these First Nations communities, BC Hydro and forrest workers, passing over a local dam, a major hydro station, carrying groceries, supplies and kids to and from school. So if you're expecting Disneyworld, go elsewhere. But hold on - it's one of the last few authentic, real two car rail experiences anywhere in North America. The shuttle run is over an hour - through a klm tunnel, alongside one of the most sheer mountain rock cliffs and a beautiful jade green shimmering glacial cut lake. Disney would require computer-generated graphics and couldn't afford the minimum wage on the local salmon runs or big horn sheep who live along the line. Advanced booking can be a hassle but if you get the hours on the phone and rock up 10 mins before the appointed time, it's straightforward. For 5 loonies each way, you couldn't make up a more breathtaking ride.
