Waterfront Station is the key intermodal hub serving downtown Vancouver. This neoclassical inspired station is the terminus for SkyTrain (rapid transit), SeaBus (ferry), and the West Coast Express (commuter rail).
Being Metro Vancouver’s main transport hub means that this is a very busy interchange. Some intercity and Translink buses also stop here on their way to Whistler and the ferry terminals. It is also a short walk away to Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre (CXH) for floatplane flights along the coast and to Vancouver Island.
