Public Transport

All public transport; buses, metros, sky trains, seabuse; in the greater Vancouver area, including north Vancouver, operate on the same ticketing and payment system. 

Payment/ticketing: You can either tap your credit card, your Compass card or your ticket to board anything public transport related. You save a bit if you buy a compass card but the short term difference using your credit card is generally negligible.
