The transit system in Vancouver is very easy to get the hang of. Using the Compass card, we can easily recharge it online using a credit card or by using the vending machines at every Skytrain station.
The Compass card itself costs $6 and can be recharged with added value or by purchasing monthly passes depending on how many zones you require. We recommend the monthly pass so that you can get an ease of mind and ride unlimited times.
