Compass card @ YVR
 

Hi,

Mrs NC will be visiting Vancouver next week. I just want to confirm that she will be able to purchase ($6?) a Compass card (at top it up with a credit card) at the YVR Canada Line station? Getting it right at this point will spare me from answering a call @ 4am BST :) Thanks.


Regards,
NC

I had thought that only fare card dealers sold cards (e.g., the 7-11 in the domestic terminal) but my wife's nephew managed to buy a new card when he intended to reload so I'd say yes, although cards may be out of stock.

Yes, there's a Compass card vending machine at the station. You can also order one online and have it shipped to any address in Canada (though you won't get it before next week, of course).
