SkyTrain Parking: TransLink Park & Ride Lots, $3/Day (2026)

Downtown meters run $1.50–$8 an hour. A Stanley Park summer day max is $17.75. TransLink's Park & Ride lots at Scott Road and Bridgeport are still $3 a day on the official 2026 list. That is the move if you are driving in from Surrey or Richmond and spending the day in the core — then Compass Card the rest.

It is not a 24-hour ticket.

None of the Park and Ride locations listed by TransLink permit overnight parking. A daily rate is not a 24-hour ticket. Signs on site win if anything has changed since 2026-09-13.

Then what

Park & Ride FAQ

Is Park & Ride $3 for 24 hours?

None of the Park and Ride locations listed by TransLink permit overnight parking. A daily rate is not a 24-hour ticket. Scott Road is signed 4 am to 2 am. Leave the car overnight and you are in the tow zone, not on a bargain ticket.

Which lot should I use to get downtown on SkyTrain?

Scott Road (Expo Line, Surrey) if you are coming from the south-east; Bridgeport (Canada Line, Richmond) if you are coming from Richmond or the airport side. Both are $3 a day on TransLink's 2026 list. Carvolth and South Surrey are $2 but they are bus exchanges, not SkyTrain.

How do I pay?

TransLink lots take PayByPhone (Scott Road location number 604100) and, at Scott Road, Carvolth and South Surrey, a meter with card or exact coin. $0.35 convenience fee on PayByPhone at Carvolth, Scott Road and South Surrey. Bridgeport is not on that PayByPhone table — pay as posted on site.

Are there EV chargers?

BC Hydro chargers are at Coquitlam Central, Port Coquitlam Station and South Surrey. Level 2 parking fees follow the lot; Level 3 includes up to one hour of free parking, then BC Hydro idle fees apply after a full charge.

Is Granville Island two hours free?

No. Granville Island is a CMHC lot with posted hourly rates, not a HonkMobile freebie. Evening is $1/hour after 6 pm until 10 pm. See the Granville Island parking page.

Prices on this page are estimates for planning and can change — check the operator, venue or booking site before you pay.
