Q: Do I need to rent a car in Vancouver, BC? How is the public transport situation?
A: I would not rent a car. Public transit is expensive in Vancouver, and the bus schedules differ. The cost for transit is $1.75 for youth and younger children, and i think that the adult bus fare costs $2.25. here is a site that teachs you how to get to places in Vancouver http://tripplanning.translink.bc.ca/hiwire?.a=iTripPlanning&.s={$SID}
