Stacey Lee Donohue started the topic Canada Line airport train in the forum
2015 MLA Convention on MLA Commons 11 years, 3 months agoVancouver-ians,
Does anyone know if the Canada Line airport train to downtown stops near the Fairmont Waterfront? I see a Waterfront stop, but I can’t quite tell if it’s the same area as the hotel. How long does the train take from the airport to the Waterfront stop (which looks like the last stop)?
Thanks!
