Getting around in Vancouver

We learned that you cannot drive to most of the events at the Olympics, but instead have to use public transportation to get to/from the events.

For the out-of-town events (Cypress Mountain and Whistler), you have to purchase tickets on the Olympic bus. For the local events, public transportation is free and runs constantly.

We have purchased our Olympic bus tickets and hopefully have all the transportation figured out now. Time will tell if that's true!

We're now looking at border crossing times. The time is expected to be hours at some times. This sent us into a panic, and caused us to alter our plans for driving up. We now have a reservation inside of Richmond, BC, and canceled the reservations we had in Washington state. This will allow us to take our time getting into Canada on Monday, Februrary 22nd, and not have to cross the border, very early on the morning of our first event. This is because we have to be at our pickup point on Tuesday by 6 am.
