An update. There is a night bus N-10 which departs the YVR airport going to downtown via Granville until Pender or Hastings. Departs 1:27 am, 1:57 am and 2:27 am and takes about 30 minutes. Actually better than the 424 shuttle and B98 bus. In the other direction the N-10 bus goes to Richmond via the B98 route. It was simple as the CX 889 flight arrived about 30 minutes before hand. Customs/immigration was a breeze at that hour.
