Kamloops50 Posted November 30, 2017 #26 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Does anyone know if the taxis take credit cards? Or should we get $Can in advance? And what are the taxi lines like if there are 3 ships at Canada Place? Thanks, Debbie Sent from my iPad using Forums Taxis take masterchargr and visa predominately. Amex and some other cards aren’t commonly used in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're among the first batch of folks off ALL three ships combined, expect to wait a long time for a cab. On the first 3 ship day of the season delays can get up to the three hour mark (although more than an hour is unusual). Best advice is always this - stay longer in Vancouver! If you cannot, then book as late a flight as you can tolerate, and if for some reason your only option is a noon or earlier, self-disembark and be lining up at 7am to get off the ship. Figuring out how to use SkyTrain is the most efficient way to avoid delays getting to the airport - it's 26mins travel time end to end on the train plus maybe five minutes walk from pier to station. Ticket machines take credit cards (NB: make sure you have a Chip!) or CAD cash, and the price can't be beat at $4.10pp (even less on weekends or for Seniors). If you walk off the ship and right into a cab, that's faster - but if the wait for a cab exceeds 5 minutes then SkyTrain will be a shorter total journey time.

I’m a subway girl.....but my husband and I will probably be juggling 4 bags. As much as I want to take the Skytrain, I don’t think we can manage that.
