A ride on one of the cute little passenger ferries operated by False Creek Ferries or Aquabus offers a lot of 'fun-factor' for your money.
While these little ferries operated by private companies are not part of Vancouver's public transit system, they do provide convenient transportation to numerous points around the city for a reasonable price making them popular with visitors and local commuters alike.
