context_page_description: YVR Sustainability is an operations department at Vancouver International Airport that is concerned with airport green initiatives. Its focus is to expand the airport quality of YVR without harm to the environment or affecting the community in a negative way. It focuses on a variety of initiatives having to do with heating, transport, energy consumption, recycling and noise. YVR's sustainability is also known and infamous for its green art linked to the environment and community and its indoor nature displays.
context_section_description: Along with the Taxi Incentive Program, YVR has a very close and rapid SkyTrain system connected directly to the airport. The Canada Line at YVR-Airport Station opened in 2009 and offers inexpensive travel to central Downtown Vancouver in approximately 25 minutes. Going from downtown to the airport costs $3.75 for adultfare and $8.75 ($3.75 plus a $5 YVR "AddFare" charge) from the airport to downtown. This reduces emissions by enabling people to access the airport on electric public transit.
