8 #VeryVancouver Ways to Commute In and Around The City
Vancouver’s compact downtown core makes it rather easy and accessible to get around. Not only is the city very walkable, but there are multiple ways to get from one point to another, either by bike, car or ferry ride.
Some of Vancouver’s transport options allow locals to commute in interesting ways – take for example an Aquabus, which crosses over False Creek, or a seaplane, which takes off from the Burrard Inlet. With all these options, visitors should experience a Very Vancouver commute as well!
Here are 8 ways Vancouverites commute around the city, as told by Instagram:
Seabus
