Metrotown Skytrain Station

The fastest way to get to Metrotown on public transportation is via SkyTrain. This station is just right outside of the upper level of the mall. It is much more convenient taking the SkyTrain rather than taking a bus to get there. I took a bus from Stanley Park to Metrotown on my recent trip and it was very slow. It took a hour to get there due to all of the stops in between. Whereas SkyTrain can get you to and from downtown Vancouver in about 20 minutes.
The waiting time at Metrotown is also very short as there are two lines (Expo and Millennium) that stop here. During daytime hours, your wait at this station shouldn’t be any longer than 5 minutes. If you are looking for a hotel in Vancouver outside of the city centre, Burnaby is a good option. I stayed at the Hilton down the street from the station before and didn’t feel inconvenienced due to the location because of the train frequencies here.
If you need to get and from Metrotown quickly from downtown Vancouver, I would recommend hopping on the SkyTrain to get to this station. It is probably faster than even driving a car to get to Metrotown when you account for traffic and parking.

I appreciate that this is a covered station connecting to the mall, especially on wet days, however, I see more rent a cops or police wannabees here during the holiday season. One of the busiest stations due to mall traffic. My main pet peeve is less about the station and more for the lazy people who take all their sweet ass time getting on the train and stand in front of the doorway.

Behind mall on Central east of Willingdon. Entrance from mall across overhead walkway.
They have major plans to renovate this station starting at the west end and working east. There will be escalators at both ends and two elevators in the middle. There is a serious problem with crowding at this station so people please… move down the platform. The bus bays will be re-​located to Beresford on the south side of the station .
No coffee/​juice/​tea because it is all in the mall.

A great location just outside the mall with covered walkway!!!
Superbusy, but the train comes often.
Quick update:
I believe the train stops going Westbound after 1am.

Perfect train station located steps away from one of the lower mainlands largest malls.
Short trip from downtown (about 20 min).
