A distinct mode of urban navigation that’s unique to Vancouver, British Columbia, this style is characterized by a total spatial efficiency. It relies on mastering the city's 'unspoken flow,' allowing an individual to traverse diverse environments in a fraction of the time required by the average person.
Vancouver style is knowing exactly which SkyTrain (e.g., "Car 2, Door 3") lines up with the exit stairs at a specific station like Waterfront or Broadway-City Hall to avoid other commuters at the platform.
Vancouver style is utilizing the interconnected basements and concourses of the Pacific Centre and Vancouver Centre to move multiple blocks through the downtown core without ever waiting for a crosswalk or dealing with rain.
Vancouver style is when you’re using the ferries to cross False Creek (e.g., from Granville Island to Yaletown) to bypass traffic of the Burrard or Granville Street bridges.
Vancouver style is moving through the public plazas and "cut-throughs" of large residential towers to move mid-block rather than walking the full perimeter of a city square.
When a bus or SeaBus door opens, you exit vancouver style at the side furthest from the crowd, around the edges of the queue to hit the sidewalk while the main group is bottlenecked.
Instead of reaching for a door handle, you time your pace vancouver style to slide through the closing door left by the person ahead of you, maintaining your momentum.
