The spirit of Canada’s longest interurban railway lives on in our rapid transit of today.
Marine Drive Station on the Canada Line is where the tracks emerge from the long underground tunnel originating at the harbour front at Terminal Station. Once emerged it reaches high above the ground to its platform with the bus exchange below which is well named Interurban Way.
Above the Marine Drive Station are high residential high rises. The area now functional of both residential and commerce with easy access to the shops as well as the 29 story apartment building from the main entrance to the Skytrain station
.
There are banks, cinema, drugstore, clothing store, mattress store and well-stocked supermarket.
With a very busy bus loop on the Interurban Way, it connects to the Canada Line to which you can to downtown, Richmond or the YVR Vancouver International Airport.
While waiting, with pleasant spots to sit, there is no shortage of snacks and coffee. There are even a pub and liquor store for the much longer waits.
