For taxis you can also use the ECab app which lets you call for a cab and pay using your phone (you can set up an account and add your cc ahead of time)
To clarify...Interesting, never heard of the app so I made note of it! Thanks!!
- Vancouver cab companies recognize the main bottleneck is dispatch. By using apps and their websites, your request is processed faster.
- Each Vancouver cab company has their own app.
- eCab has an agreement with 4 Vancouver cab operations. Their app shows where each available cab is located and you just click to the one you want.... eCab was designed to work like Uber's app and offer the same convenience.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/briti...who-fought-off-uber-launch-ecab-app-1.3228870 - these apps may not work well for debarkation.... I recommend dragging your luggage a few blocks away from the cruise terminal for the pickup to work efficiently.
