60.5 km, according to Google, an hour drive time!
That might be more accurate if we didn't, in fact, spend
anywhere up to an hour getting across the Port Mann
parking lot!!

Amen. It took me 90 minutes to get to the preseason game from Langley and 45 to get home. That eastbound HOV lane over the bridge makes all the difference.

I came in from Langley as well for that game, straight after finishing work. Pulled out of Fraser Hwy. and 56th at exactly 6:00... rolled onto the Dunsmuir Viaduct at exactly 7:30.
Took a further half hour to get from there, up Dunsmuir to Hamilton, then two blocks down Hamilton to the Library parking (and 20 minutes of that was just the 3/4-block from Georgia to the parking entrance).
Brutal.

I guess folks like
Larry Beasley deserve the credit for long commutes downtown:
"Congestion is our friend."
"We like that it's hard to get in and out of downtown."

"There's no better alternative to the car than walking," Beasley said. "We have been doing everything in our power to make walking comfortable. We actually have fewer cars coming into the downtown area than we had 10 years ago."
Yeah, because they're all at a dead crawl along 1st Ave. and halfway to Richmond down Granville St.
Thanks, Larry.

work to seats in BC Place --> 780m as the crow flies, it's a little further for walking.
work to home by driving --> 25km

I just copied what Google Maps said. Im sure i can make it in less than 28 hrs. Sounds like it would take me less time than someone driving in from Langley lately.

Google maps doesn't include Belize City, but it's 4716.37kms (as the crow flies) from Belize International Airport to YVR. Driving would take about 6 days.
