Riding transit for the first time is a daunting task, especially when you don’t know what to expect. That’s why we have myriad resources to help guide you.

Start with watching our TransLink Mobility Guide travel training videos on how to take transit in Metro Vancouver. They’re available in English with American Sign Language (ASL), English Described Video,  French, Cantonese, Mandarin, Punjabi, and Ukrainian. Next, use our virtual bus tool to tour a bus at your own pace.

You can also book group travel training workshops with us! It’s available for seniors, people with disabilities, and newcomers to assist with independent travel. Contact the Travel Training team at 604.953.3636 to request a workshop.

This is all part of the Access Transit program which ensures our transit system is accessible to all ages and all abilities.

Among the programs is our HandyDART service which ensures those who cannot use conventional transit are able to access transit service. We also engage with the HandyDART and Access Transit Users’ Advisory Committee who advise on improvements to the accessibility of the HandyDART service and our conventional transit service.

Customers who cannot use the conventional system without assistance can obtain a HandyCard. Cardholders are entitled to Concession fares and their attendant travel for free when taking transit.
