Buses
The useful Transit Route Map & Guide ($1.50) is available from the infocentre and FareDealer shops, while free bus timetables can be found at the infocentre, 7-Eleven stores and the central library. The free Discover Vancouver on the Transit pamphlet from the infocentre is also extremely useful, though there is talk of discontinuing production of this guide. You can buy tickets on the bus, but make sure you have the right change (they don't carry any) to shovel into the box by the driver; ask specially if you want a transfer ticket. If you have a pass or transfer, simply show the driver. Normal buses stop running around midnight, when a rather patchy "Night Owl" service comes into effect on major routes until about 4am. Note that blue West Van buses (tel 985-7777) also operate (usually to North and West Vancouver destinations, including the BC Ferries terminal at Horseshoe Bay) in the city and BC Transit tickets are valid on these buses as well.
