HEY guys, title says it all. Im looking for the best and cheapest way to get from Vancouver int airport to whistler. I found a bus company, but their kinda pricey. PLEASE HELP! THANKS!
 
take 424 from yvr to airport loop, transfer onto 98 B-line. Get off 98 b-line at seymour and Georgia. Walk West to Georgia and Burrard. Wait at sign that says Greyhound. Look up schedules at www.translink.bc.ca and www.greyhound.ca cost is $3.75 for public buses and $20 for greyhound.
 
snowbus.ca

but their schedule on the web is weird, give them a call

for cheapest, try hitchhiking. just get to horseshoe bay
 
now have you dont this before..or are you just going on what people have told you.

If i were to print out your instructions, and follow them along with my skis and a bag i would be able to get to whislter?
 
Compare the cost of flights to Seattle, you might be able to save some money by taking a domestic flight to Seattle, then taking a bus from Seattle to Whistler. Also, that way, you get on the Greyhound in Seattle, and don't have to worry about anything else, it just takes you to Whistler. Looks like that bus is 50 bucks, so a flight from wherever you are to Seattle is more than 30 bucks cheaper than to Vancouver, you save money.
 
Take perimeter. 60$ goes right from airport to Whistler, don't have to do any gay transfers and no snowbus does not go to the airport.
 
sorry for quoting my own reply but i just wanted to say trust me dude, it's worth it I've done that trip a million times with ski shit and it's well worth the extra money.
 
yah, take the snowbus its cheap. but it depends what time you want to go, because snowbus doesnt run intil mid november. if not just greyhound it
 
Yea i have taken perimeter before but their kinda pricy. And i was on snowbus's website..and i think they do run from the airport
 
Not unless they put in a new stop this year... because previously their only stop south of Van was the Richmond Inn.
 
yea, i guess they put a new one in? fuckin snowbus is wack though, they charge more than greyhound for some weird reason when it's the exact same service.
 
They:

-Show movies

-Sell food

-Seats are more comfortable

-Related to the above, the snowbus buses are worth about 10 times as much as the greyhound

-They have multiple stops so you don't have to go to Pac Cent Station

-With a membership they're about the same as the greyhound

So yeah that's why. Snowbus is a pretty good deal if you're going to have a hard time getting to one of the other services.
 
not trying to be a dick or anything but the times i've gone on snowbus the buses have been: the exact same as greyhound, they didnt sell food, they didnt show movies, and it cost me a couple dollars more. They also claim you get a free energy drink when you take it but you don't the guy was just like 'no man it's only on certain trips'. so basically when they feel like it.
 
depends how much snowbus is from the airport. if snowbus is less than 40 take snowbus if snowbus is more than 40 spend the extra 20 and take perimeter cause it goes straight there.
 
yea i checked them out, 55 each way, i found 100 round trip from some company so i think im gonna go wit that
 
you are getting so fucking screwed man.
If you want to save your money then go to www.translink.bc.ca find a bus route from the airport to the vancouver hotel downtown vancouver. ( you can probabl just type both of those locations into the trip finder and it will tell you the rest) this trip will cost you like 3.50 or something.
Next buy a ticket for the greyhound at the vancouver hotel, if you catch the express it will not stop at a bunch of lame places and it will take you straight to whistler, should cost about $20 $16 if you have a student card.
The bus from the airport to downtown will take about 1hr 15 mins, the greyhound to whistler will take 2-4 hours depending on which bus you catch and how retarded the driver is.

In my opinion your best option would be to tell us when you are coming and I am sure someone here will hook you up with a car ride for somewhere between $20 or as low as $5. You would likely still have to bus to downtown vancouver but a car ride would be much better than any bus ride.
So, when are you coming into town?
 
The 98 b Line takes about 35 minutes from airport to downtown.3.50 for 2 zone fare.And it even calls out each stop along the way.It's a pretty sweet deal to save yourself a ton of money.
 
i would, but i sod my car about 2 weeks ago.......but by feb 15 i will probably buy another one. I looove wasting money.
I'll let you know!
 
perimeter went bankrupt so the only option from the airport is pacific coach its about $36 or something
