If I drive, how long does it take?
If I skytrain/bus, how long does it take?

Thanks

    Skytrain will take you about 40 minutes.

    driving will depend on what time.
    about 10-1 it will take probably 20 mins driving.
    from 7-10, 1-6, it will take an hour or longer lol

    so the 40 mins include walking time?

    If you mean walking from the Skytrain station to SFU Surrey, that takes less than a minute, it's like right next to the Surrey Central Skytrain station. SFU Vancouver is pretty close to the Granville Skytrain station. If you include walking to and from the respective Skytrain stations, I would say about 45-50 minutes, just to be safe.

    This helps a lot. Thank you :)

    why do most people say get off at Granville instead of Waterfront even though it's a shorter walk from Waterfront?
  • edited March 2008
    Yeah, SFU Vancouver is RIGHT next to Waterfront. Probably about 3 minutes walk. Isn't Granville kind of far?

    i think its ingrained in our heads that when we go dt we always get off at burrard or granville and never consider waterfront unless we go to the northshore...but in fact waterfront is closer than granville, only a block away as opposed to three from granville

    :angry: Hey! Cut me some slack, children. I wasn't too far off, considering where it is; and that's pretty good if you take into account that I've never, as an undergraduate, actually taken classes there, and hence, I've never had to go there. So give me a break, will ya? :wink:

    20 min? It takes me 23 minutes from SFU Burnaby to Langley (probably about the same distance) with 0 traffic, and that's gunning it. I'd imagine the traffic in Van is worse, regardless of the time. In peak times, I'd imagine 1.5 hrs+

    But if you can do it in 20, that takes talent :)

    Yeah, for me to drive from Residence to 200th street in langely it takes exactly 20 minutes (without rush hour). Five minutes to the highway and then another fifteen to 200th.
