Yaletown-Roundhouse Station

If you are going to Yaletown, this SkyTrain station on the Canada Line is really convenient. It is very close to popular eateries in this area like The Flying Pig. This station is great for getting in and out of Yaletown after a night of fun in this neighborhood.
The two sports venues, Rogers Arena and BC Place are also within walking distance, though it might be easier to transfer at Vancouver City Centre Station and walk over to Granville Station to get to the Stadium/​Chinatown stop if you are unfamiliar with the area.

Convenient. Clean. Easy to use. Direct to airport. I’m happy.

As close to a spanking new Skytrain station as you’ll get. It can take me to both the airport and waterfront! Yay! It’s also just a few minutes’ walk from where I stay when I’m in Vancouver, so I love the convenience of the Canada line. Definitely beats bussing or cabbing around the city, especially on weekend nights.

It’s a skytrain station
It’s one of the newer ones as it’s on the newest skytrain routes (Canada Line)
It’s bright and clean, located on Davie Street right in Yaletown !
It’s close to my home!
It’s a straight to Waterfront 2 stops Downtown (Pacific Centre) 1 stop
Runs directly to YVR. I find sometimes it’s even faster to take this train, then it is to take a cab.
What else can I say about a skytrain station?

I give it 4 stars ’cause when you need it, it is there for you every 6 — 11 minutes and is an easy form of transportation if you’re near the line. With many added new lines it makes it easier to connect, thus leaving the car at home. I can speak for everyone when I say that I feel that track maintenance starting way too early at night makes it difficult for people to arrange and plan for safe transportation home after an event. Depending on the station, the elevator is most times out of service and the escalator can be out of service for weeks on end.

2 mins from my door to this station, then about 25 mins to YVR, then about 5.5 hours to Waikiki. No taxi, nobody has to drive us, it’s freedom.
KEYPOINT: remember to buy a 2 zone booklet before you travel so you don’t have to pay the hefty surcharge from YVR back into town.

I love the Canada Line. It’s amazingly convenient and takes you (almost) right into departures at YVR.
This station in particular has lots of stairs. There are elevators but you have to switch between two (the first elevator is on the outside, the other is inside the Fare-​Paid Zone). It’s just as clean as any other Canada Line station, which is impressive for public transit.
Annoyingly, this station (along with many others on the Canada line) installed non-​operational FareGates prematurely by ONE WHOLE YEAR. Seriously, what’s the point of having a bunch of posts that do nothing except slow down foot traffic. I understand a few weeks, maybe even a month or so… but a whole year? Come on.
The connections to surface routes is also not very good from this station — all there is in the immediate vicinity is the community shuttle to English Bay (C21). That being said, most things near the station are easily accessible on foot, the Granville buses are only a 5 – 7 minute walk away, and City Centre (the next station north, which is much closer to all the buses and shopping) is only an extra minute or so on the train anyway.
