Because Vancouver taxis and public transportation are reliable and readily available, and because walking in Vancouver is so much fun, it's quite possible to rely on your own power, on taxis and on public transportation while you're here. You can easily get by without a car in Vancouver. Millions of visitors do it every year.

And now that the wonderful new light rail is available from the airport to downtown Vancouver, you really have a great excuse to leave your car at home, fly to Vancouver and catch the Canada Line from the airport to downtown.
