I have to get out of US Consulate in downtown Vancouver around 3:30 pm on 22nd Aug and fly to Montreal on the same day. The earliest flight is 4:50 pm, and the next direct flight to Montreal is at 11PM. I need to be at my company’s conference in Montreal in the morning of Wednesday (23 Aug). I could use a Taxi–how much would it cost, and would it be faster? Or Vancouver’s traffic could be too bad? Would a bus be better–any other options to travel?
I suggest you take cab,I’ve ever taken cab from downtown vancouver to the airport.I spent $25 plus tip.
It took me about 35 minutes to there.
If you are in a hurry,take cab, if not, take buses.
In downtown,I think go to Granville street (near Robson street) take No.98 B-Line bus to YVR (have to get off at the airport transfer bus stop during the route).It takes about one hour up.
I had many times taken buses to YVR from downtown. Van
around 20-30min and around 20 canadian $.

about 1/2 hour and it will cost about $25

Ouch! You are travelling through rush hour traffic and it could take an hour (and cost around $60. That would put you at the airport at 4:30 and it would be really iffy whether you could get through security and all that in time for your flight.
The taxi would be faster than the bus, but some hotels in the downtown area have an airporter bus (is that what you meant or were you referring to public trransport?) The airporter bus calls at three or four hotels downtown, so the taxi would be more direct transportation. But check with the airline you are taking to find out if that would give you enough time to clear all the security, baggage etc.
good luck!
