Hi all i have been trying { and given up before i kill my laptop in frustration ) to find out the greyhound to whistler bus pick up points are in downtown vancouver..i.e which hotels ?
I caught the greyhound to whistler 3 years ago but we got a taxi to the bus terminal.
We are staying at the rosedale on robson..does anyone know where the nearest stop to this hotel is and can we buy a ticket on the bus ?
Many thanks Warren...

Perimeter Bus runs between downtown Vancouver hotels and Whistler

see their webpage re pickup points:

At Greyhound you can also find their schedules ... may be cheaper ... but it appears to me they leavt from the bus station, not hotels ... but I'm not certain about that.

Greyhound does have a few pickup stops along Georgia Street, however there is no signage. I believe they will stop at Georgia and Granville, you must flag them as they pass, however there is some construction at that particular bus stop. I would suggest that once you are in town you give the local depot a call, or you are not staying too far from the bus station, you could could catch a trolley on Robson and Richards #8 Fraser which will take you right past the Pacific Central depot located at Main and Terminal. You could also go into Pacific Centre and take the Skytrain two stops to Main Street Station to get to the bus depot.

Thanks for the info all of you...i think i will go with the perimiter as it says there is a pick up point on hamilton at the rosedale where we are staying :-)
