The Vancouver International Airport Authority contributed up to $300 million toward the airport branch of the Canada Line, which includes YVR–Airport.[2] Like Richmond–Brighouse station, YVR–Airport only has a single track.
Services
YVR–Airport station serves both the domestic and international terminals of Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Located on Sea Island, it provides the only direct, transfer-free public transit connection between Downtown Vancouver and the airport. During off hours, the station is served by the N10 bus route, which provides service to Downtown Vancouver and Richmond–Brighouse station.
