Getting Around During the Games

Public Transit

During the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, everyone is encouraged to use public transit as much as possible – especially since there will be road closures and parking restrictions at venues and along key routes during the Games. The rapid transit line (Skytrain) and the newly built Canada Line link Vancouver, Richmond and the Vancouver International Airport, as well as a number of key 2010 Winter Games sites.

Olympic Bus Network for Cypress and Whistler Venues

The Olympic bus network serves ticket-holders going from the Vancouver area to Cypress Mountain and Whister venues to see Olympic competition events. There is no spectator parking at any Olympic venue. Only Olympic event ticket holders may reserve seats on the Olympic bus network.
