Believe it! The new Canada Line SkyTrain is rolling into YVR Station.
After months of testing, passengers including British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell, the Airport Authority’s President and CEO Larry Berg, and members of the media, enjoyed the ten-minute journey between Richmond’s Bridgeport Station and the YVR-Airport Station, connected to the terminals via the new Link Building.
With the beginning of Canada Line operations in 2009, YVR will join the ranks of major international airports with direct rapid transit links to downtown centres.
The Canada Line will offer a fast, convenient and inexpensive travel option for YVR customers and employees, carrying riders from the airport or Richmond to downtown Vancouver in about 25 minutes – half the average time it takes to drive the same distance.
By 2010, it’s expected that the Canada Line SkyTrain will serve approximately 100,000 riders every day.
All aboard!
