The simplest way from Hastings-Sunrise to Grandview-Woodland is a bus along Hastings Street, then a short walk or a second bus. The neighbourhoods sit next to each other in East Vancouver, so the trip is short, and the TransLink trip planner will pick the best stops for your addresses.
Buses along Hastings Street
Hastings Street is one of the busiest transit corridors in the city. Routes 14, 16 and 20 run on it, along with the R5 Hastings St RapidBus and the N35 night bus. The R5 connects Simon Fraser University to Burrard Station downtown, and runs every four to five minutes at peak times.
Which of these gets you closest depends on where you start and where you finish. Put both addresses into the planner and set your travel time, because weekday, evening and weekend service differ. The planner also shows live arrivals.
Changes planned for late 2026
The City of Vancouver is rebuilding parts of Hastings Street for faster buses. Changes affecting routes 3, 8, 14, 16, 20, R5 and N35 between Homer Street and Boundary Road are scheduled for late 2026, and stops will be spaced about 300 to 400 metres apart. That means the stop you used last year may be gone or have moved a block. Check the stop on the day you travel.
Fares, SkyTrain and other options
Since July 2026 a one zone adult fare on a Compass Card is $2.85, and cash is $3.50. Compass or a tap with a contactless card works on buses and SkyTrain. If you want to use SkyTrain for part of the trip, the planner will show which station makes sense, and it will include a transfer if one is needed.
- Cycling is realistic for a trip this short in dry weather.
- Walking works if you start near the boundary between the two areas.
- A cab saves time if you are carrying luggage or heading home late.
For a ride, the Vancouver taxi page lists local companies, and the Uber estimate calculator gives a rough fare to compare.
