Burrard is a SkyTrain station in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, served by the Expo Line. The station is located in the Dunsmuir Tunnel located beneath Downtown Vancouver, and opened in 1985.
Burrard station is located in the heart of Vancouver’s financial district and is very close to Coal Harbour and the West End. The subway station is accessible from the surface via an entrance through an urban park named Art Phillips Park (originally Discovery Square) where Burrard Street meets Melville and Dunsmuir Streets, or via the underground shopping malls of the Royal Centre and Bentall Centre skyscraper complexes.
Burrard station is one of six SkyTrain subway stations currently serving Downtown Vancouver. It connects with many TransLink bus routes in Metro Vancouver; these buses serve the city of Vancouver, Burnaby, the city and district of North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and the Tri-Cities.
Prior to the opening of the Canada Line, a number of routes also served Richmond (including the 98 B-Line), Delta, Surrey, and White Rock.
