West Coast Express is Vancouver's Commuter Rail
system. Currently, there is one line between the Vancouver Waterfront
east to Mission City. Like many commuter systems, West Coast is set up
as a "round trip" system, offering travel only in one direction at
peak travel times. In the case of Vancouver, westbound trains only run
in the morning, then head east in the afternoon.
WCE trainsets are identical to the locomotives and
bi-level multiple unit cars seen in Toronto, Los Angeles, and nearby
Seattle. When operating, locomotives push the trains into Waterfront,
and pull trains back to the east.
Stations (from east to west) are Waterfront, Port Moody,
Coquitlam Central, Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Meadows, Port
Haney, and Mission City.
WCE fares are based upon a different structure than the
rest of the TransLink system. For more information about fares, please
