The easiest way to Guildford Town Centre from elsewhere in Surrey is a TransLink bus to Guildford Exchange, which sits under part of the mall. The mall is at 10355 152 Street.
Guildford Exchange
Guildford Exchange is a TransLink hub located under a section of the mall that is built over 104 Avenue. About twelve bus routes serve it, so you can usually reach it from several parts of Surrey without driving. The R1 King George Boulevard RapidBus is among the routes that serve Guildford, which helps if you are coming from the King George corridor.
Because so many routes stop here, the right one depends entirely on where you start. Enter your address and Guildford Town Centre in the TransLink trip planner and it will show current routes, stops and departure times.
Using SkyTrain first
If you start near an Expo Line station, the usual plan is to ride SkyTrain to the closest station and then take a bus to Guildford. Surrey Central and King George are the stations most people think of for that transfer. The trip planner will show whether a direct bus or a SkyTrain plus bus plan is faster at your hour. Fares across bus and SkyTrain run on the Compass system, and the TransLink site has the current fare table.
Driving and parking
Guildford Town Centre is along 152 Street and 104 Avenue, both busy arterials. Traffic can slow at rush hour and on weekends, so a map app with live conditions is worth opening before you set off. For parking rules and any fees, use the mall’s own website.
By taxi
A taxi makes sense when the bus journey needs transfers or when you are carrying shopping. The taxi fare estimator gives a rough fare for the trip, and Vancouver taxi covers local booking.
When you head home, the exchange under the mall is the place to catch your return bus. Check the planner for the last departures if you are staying into the evening, since service thins out after dark.
