Pretty miuch only taxi or private limo at the that time of the night. The 98B (99B is the Broadway line) doesn't go to the airport. You take the 100/101 or 401 (I forget which) and change. I wouldn't risk it at that time of the night (not security but being stranded). $25 is a good estimate to downtown. It's about $22 (exc. tip) to the NE part of Point Grey (Vanc. west) or the central part of east Vancouver - both further away than downtown, so $25 to downtown including tip is a good estimate.
