Aquabus Ferries, which connect West End and Yaletown to Granville Island

Vancouver's Aquabus Ferries are the easiest way to get back and forth across False Creek inlet, which divides the West End/Davie Village area and Yaletown from Granville Island, Kitsilano, Broadway, and the South Granville Street areas of the city. These rainbow-color boats dart about False Creek throughout the day, and rides cost from $3 to $6, depending on how far you're going. The ride from Yaletown to Granville Island costs $4 (the image shown here is an Aquabus passing beneath the Granville Street Bridge, en route from Yaletown to Granville Island). Other stops include Edgewater Casino, foot of Hornby Street (West End, close to the gay district along Davie Street), and Science World (by Olympic Village).
