The City lists Canada Line service at Bridgeport Station as a way to reach the market. TransLink says the Canada Line connects downtown Vancouver, YVR and Richmond; its schedules are estimates and can change for operational reasons. Use the Trip Planner and check service alerts before setting out. The old walking-time and drive-time estimates have been removed. TransLink Canada Line stations and schedules
