You'll be there a month or so after the regular school year is over. There is a bus from Richmond to Vancouver but I am not sure if runs when the regular school year is out. There are several ways to get from YVR to UBC by bus but the most reliable would seem to be:
Bus from the domestic terminal lower level to the Airport Station transfer point, transfer 98 towards Vancouver and either: disembark at 41st Avenue for the 41 (or 43) bus to UBC, at 25th Avenue (King Edward) for the 25 bus towards same, or at Broadway for the 99, 17 or 9 bus (make sure it says UBC on it). You have to cross Granville to go to the west bound bus stop.
Fare is $3.75 (or so) on weekdays before 630 or $2.50 on weekends.
I'd say taxi runs $25-30 exc. tip or so depending on traffic..
