From Surrey to the YVR airport (or from Sovereign Station to YVR-Quinjet Station according to the new Marvel transit map), the SkyTrain transports locals across all of Metro Vancouver on a daily basis.
A number of stations along the Expo, Millennium, and Canada lines are busy commuter hotspots.
In 2022, six of the 10 busiest SkyTrain stations across the region were located in or near downtown Vancouver, reports TransLink.
The transit authority measured foot traffic at each SkyTrain station by counting the total number of boardings, or each time someone taps into a fare gate, at each station.
Waterfront Station was the most popular stop along people's commutes with almost eight million total boardings.
Commercial-Broadway, Burrard, and Granville stations rounded out the top five after Metrotown Station which took second place.
Vancouver City Centre and Stadium-Chinatown also made the list, ranking seventh and tenth place.
