Greater Vancouver
Commute times in Vancouver: compare neighborhoods before you move
Vancouver commutes swing wildly between bridge chokepoints — Lions Gate, Ironworkers, the Massey Tunnel — and some of the best rapid transit in North America. A home near a SkyTrain station can beat a "closer" home on the wrong side of a bridge by 30 minutes every rush hour.
