Use official sources whenever the answer can change between planning and travel day. These organizations are better sources for live schedules, operating rules, road conditions and government requirements than a static transportation guide.
Official and destination resources

Commercial links appear inside the route or vehicle guide where they are contextually relevant. Keeping those references on-topic makes it clearer whether a reader is looking at an official source, an independent planning article or an operator's own service page.
Official sources first
For rules and schedules, go to the organization responsible for the service. YVR is the best source for terminal and airport information, TransLink for public transit, BC Ferries for sailings, DriveBC for provincial road conditions and the appropriate Canadian or U.S. government agency for border requirements.
Commercial travel websites can help explain a service or provide a quote, but they should not replace an official source when a procedure or requirement may have changed.
Useful checks before departure
Recheck the flight, sailing or border information close to travel time. For road trips, review current conditions before leaving. If using private transportation, confirm the pickup location and contact method with the provider.
Keeping the official resource and the provider information separate makes trip planning clearer: one tells you the rules or operating status, while the other tells you how your particular ride will be handled.
