YVR SKYLYNX / 5 OUT OF 5
We gave our Skylynx journey full marks. The coach had charging points, tables and an onboard washroom: practical details that made a real difference on the road. Our arrival point was the Squamish Adventure Centre; our overnight stay was at the separate Squamish Adventure Inn. This rating reflects our trip, not a promise that every vehicle is identical.
FOUR FINGER RULE / TRANSPORT
Problem: You do not know where to get off.
Need: A stop close to your hostel.
Request: “Does this bus stop near my hostel?” Or simply: “Could I have a ticket to Squamish, please?”
