Thankfully, there are a multitude of rapid transit stations on the Canada Line Skytrain. There are about 20 bus lines traversing the city, and the closest bus stop is usually just around the corner. It is occasionally challenging for pedestrians to navigate Richmond since few daily errands can be run on foot.
