Spectators with tickets to Whistler events who are travelling from Metro
Vancouver will be transported on the Olympic bus network, a charter bus
service organized by the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010
Olympic and Paralympic Games (VANOC) and operating from a network of
designated departure hubs in Metro Vancouver.
All spectators with tickets to Cypress events, whether they are
travelling from Metro Vancouver or the Sea to Sky corridor, must travel
to Cypress via the Olympic bus network.
There is no spectator parking at any Olympic venues, so the Olympic bus
network will be a fast, affordable and convenient way for spectators to
get to Whistler and Cypress competition venues. Please note: only
Olympic event ticket holders may reserve seats on the Olympic bus
network.
After each competition, you will be transported back to your originating
departure point. To reserve a seat on the bus, you must purchase an
Olympic bus network transportation ticket.
Please remember, using alternative modes of transportation including
public transportation to the departure hubs is encouraged; and use of
public transit is included in your event ticket.
You can take public transportation, rideshare/carpool or drive to a
departure hub located at the British Columbia Institute of Technology
(BCIT), Capilano University, Simon Fraser University (SFU) and Langara
College. There is also a transfer hub at Lonsdale Quay that is only
accessible by public transportation, including the SeaBus. There is no
spectator parking available at Lonsdale Quay.
A round-trip ticket (tax and fees included) to Cypress will cost $14 while a ticket
to Whistler will cost $28 if booked by midnight PST January 10. Prices will increase
to $25 for Cypress and $50 for Whistler if purchased on or after January 11, 2010.
In recognition of Visa's support of the 2010 Winter Games, we are proud to accept
only Visa payment cards. For more information on how to obtain a Visa card, visit
your financial institution or Visa.ca.
Spectators are encouraged to review the bus schedules before purchasing
their transportation ticket. Tickets for each venue will remain on sale
from the respective date forward and will be sold on a first-come,
first-served basis with a range of departure times for each session.
Olympic bus network tickets are non-refundable and you will not be able
to change your departure time so choose your departure time carefully.
Please remember, using alternative modes of transportation including
public transportation to the departure hubs is encouraged. If you plan
to car pool/rideshare, parking is complimentary but a parking pass is
required and can be booked online when you book your seat on the bus.
