About the The Village – Plaza of Nations crossing
A short eastern-basin crossing between The Village, on the former Olympic Village waterfront, and Plaza of Nations.
⚠ Plaza of Nations is one of the two docks with steps
Aquabus states that every one of its docks is wheelchair accessible except Spyglass and Plaza of Nations, both of which have steps leading up to the dock. If you are travelling with a wheelchair, a stroller or a bike, this is the leg to plan around — the boat may take you, but the dock may not.
The quiet end of False Creek
The eastern basin is the newest part of the network's territory: this shoreline was industrial land within living memory and became residential only after the 2010 Olympics. Services here are less about sightseeing than about linking the seawall neighbourhoods to each other.
Operator
Aquabus runs 18 vessels, eight of them Cyquabuses built to carry bikes, strollers and wheelchairs.
