I'm curious because one day I'd like to use if I'm in the metro if It's too late to get to abbotsford normally.


Anyone know how it works, ever used it before?

I'm wondering what you specifically mean by that.

According to the schedule the latest train is 6:20pm, and the latest trainbus at 8.

Whereas you possibly could get there by skytrain/503 at 10pm latest, if it'd take you anywhere near where you want to go.

What I mean is I really don't know anything about the translink transportation. I usually take the bus (Surrey-aldergrove and then aldergrove-Abbotsford) the problem is, it takes a while to get from surrey to Aldergrove, and the last bus on a weekday's at 7:20 pm, 6:30 on saturdays.


What I'm trying to find is the alternative methods to the fraiser valley region, I.E the trainbus, the train or greyhound, stuff like that.

Completely went over my head last night, the WCE never runs south of the river, so BC transit will take you down from Mission to wherever-abouts you want to go.

The latest trainbus to Mission is at around 8pm and ending 9:42pm leaving time to get the above bus which leaves 10:20pm latest to Abbotsford. I've never made the connection though, but that leaves more than a half hour to make the connection after you get off the trainbus. This lets you be out there for an hour or so longer than conventional skytrain/bus transit, but you have to be near Waterfront station by 8 as a tradeoff.

Greyhound to appear to have reasonable fares (~$11 for web) and busses around the same time too (~8:30pm) but that is even not too much of an improvement maybe.

At first, I thought you were talking about Payday 2.

And I thought "The Dockyard mission can't lead to the Train Mission....
