Transit in Vancouver is easy to go anywhere you like, and sometimes the bus and the SkyTrain change the location. Transportation in Vancouver, BC, has many features of modem cities worldwide. Unlike many large metropolises, Vancouver has no freeways into or through the downtown area. The West Coast Express, a heavy commuter rail train, serves Port Moody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, and Mission. The SeaBus is a passenger-only ferry connecting downtown Vancouver and the City of North Vancouver across Burrard Inlet. The fleet has three ferries owned and operated by the Coast Mountain Bus Company. The newest vessel was put into service in 2024. Cycling is what most people will do in the springtime and summertime, and some people use cycling for sport or transport to go anywhere close by in Vancouver.
In Vancouver, they some have a park it has bike shares for people who want to use it to go anywhere or using for the activity with friends and family, and bike share is started on July 20, 2016, a bicycle sharing system known as Mobi launched in the City of Vancouver. In September 2018, Uber announced plans to launch its dockless electric bicycle-sharing system, Jump Bikes, in Vancouver. The Bicycle theft on August 24, 2009, the Vancouver Police Department announced a sharp increase in bicycle theft, with the first three weeks of August experiencing a 53 percent increase in thefts over 2008. Constable Jana McGuinness, Vancouver Police spokeswoman, said, “There is no link between the increase in bike thefts and the recent dedicated bike lanes on Burrard Bridge.”
The freeways for the Municipal bylaws and geography have protected Vancouver from urban freeways. The only freeway within city limits is Highway 1, which passes through the City’s eastern edge. All other limited-access routes enter the town before entering Vncouver’s city limits. The lack of freeways in Vancouver is primarily due to the protests of concerned citizens as the City was being developed. During the late 1950s, proposals were made by the City to put a freeway through the heart of Chinatown. The Chinese community joined with non-Chinese supporters to prevent the highway from being implemented, and by 1971, Chinatown was declared a historical area. The only sections built were the Dunsmuir and Georgia viaducts, which became low-speed streets.
