And no, I wasn't talking about the bus seeing as how I haven;t been on public transit in this city in about 8 years.

It is definitely the best non subway based transit system I have ever seen in North America. Buses are on point, especially now that the electric ones have those pull cords to fix them, instead of the old half hour of a fat woman poking it with a stick. Although if I didn't get a student Upass I probably wouldn't ride it.
Also, beyond the lions and portmann, you got the ferries accross the Frasier (like the albien SP?) which is gonna be a 6 boat wait every day until they get their tunnel built. Also NB Burrard and Cambie right now can get pretty bad at times. Trying to go south in western parts of Van proper between 3-6 is always a pain in the butt too. Especially now that W12th is closed. It's horrible to bite the bullet and realize rush hour Granville is probably the fastest.
Although it does seem the longer I live here the more faster side routes I discover, which is a big reason I can get around quick in the CGY.
