If you are travelling as a group, or if you are traveling alone, taking the bus makes a lot of sense. Vancouver & the Fraser Valley has several bus-friendly transportation options for the traveller.

Greyhound also has passenger terminals on its trans-Canada east-west routes in Langley, Chilliwack, Hope and Boston Bar. Buses leave several times a day in every direction. From Vancouver, you can go east to the Okanagan, Calgary, Winnipeg, and Toronto, or South into the United States to Seattle, San Fransisco, or Los Angeles (of course, you can catch the bus from these places and come TO the Fraser Valley as well!).
