Metro Vancouver is by no means on par with Europe, lots of fraser valley sprawl, that is slowly being developed to be higher density, but transit is not too bad. The bus and skytrain are linked so I can travel 45km to work in 1.5 to 2 hours depending on which method I choose, while taking the car to work can be 1.25 to 1.5 hours due to traffic. New skytrain lines are being extended outward also.
