About the Yaletown – Spyglass Place crossing
Yaletown to Spyglass Place, linking the north shore's converted warehouse district with the south side of False Creek.
⚠ Spyglass has steps
Spyglass Place is one of just two Aquabus docks that are not wheelchair accessible — the other is Plaza of Nations. Both have steps leading up from the water. Bikes and strollers face the same obstacle regardless of which boat you board.
Frequency does the work here
With 18 boats working the creek at intervals of 15 minutes or less, missing one costs very little. That is the design principle of the whole network: short hops, high frequency, no timetable to memorise.
Operator
Aquabus has served False Creek since June 1985, when Jeff and Margot Pratt started with a single boat.
