What is the best way to travel to Vancouver, BC, plane, train, or automobile?
For me, I would much rather go in a car. There is so much to explore around B.C., that I don’t want to be stuck without my own transportation there. But if you find driving around the city a burdon, then the train could be your best bet. Or, if you are willing to take public transportation or taxis in Vancouver, then the train is a great way to go. Everyone who has taken the train raves about it. You will also avoid lengthly delays at the border by not driving across it. Taking the plane is a distant third, as you have to arrange ground transportation to and from both airports, and check in 2 hours early. Taking the train or driving will be both faster and cheaper.
