I am going to YVR in April, to attend a wedding and apartment hunting. I booked an ticket to leave YVR at 8am on a Tuesday. How early do the buses run on Tuesdays? is it better I take a taxi? How much does a taxi ride cost from Stadium Skytrain station to YVR?
Thanks.

Vancouver is as busy as Toronto. An 8 am departure means you will have to be there no later than 6:30 to 7. The traffic in Vancouver is very bad but fortunately for you you will be going against it. The bus is not an option for you at that time in the morning.
Last time I was there (this past Summer) I took a cab from Hotel Vancouver to the airport at 10am and it cost $45, traffic sucked.
