From Wikitravel

Port Moody is a city in the Vancouver eastern suburbs of British Columbia, Canada. Set on the eastern end of the Burrard Inlet, it has some fine waterfront property. It's primarily a residential community, just close enough to commute to Vancouver for work. Some new high-rise developments right on the water, such as NewPort Village[1], have also spurred retail and entertainment districts.

[edit] Get in

The Barnett Highway (Highway 7) leads in from Coquitlam to the south.

[edit] Get around

There are several buses that serve the Port Moody area. Port Moody has a bus station, which also serves as a stop for the West Coast Express. stationThe 97 B-Line is a very useful bus; it runs from the Lougheed Town Centre Skytrain station to the Coquitlam Centre bus terminal roughly every ten minutes on weekdays, covering the whole of St. John's Street. Most areas in Port Moody aren't more than a ten-minute walk from the closest 97 B-Line stop to the destination. The 160 bus runs through Port Moody, providing a direct route to Downtown Vancouver. The C25 bus serves Ioco. The C26 provides transportation up to Anmore and Belcarra. The C27 serves the Heritage Mountain area and parts of Westwood Plateau (Coquitlam), running from Port Moody station to Coquitlam station. The C28 provides similar service to the C27, except with more focus on the Westwood Plateau area.
