Has anyone been successful in landing without a car and by coach instead?

I have no car (public trans ftw yeah) and none of my friends are willing to drive me down to the border. I live in Vancouver and need to get down to the border which is about an hours drive away. How can I get around that?

You could take bus/skytrain to white rock and walk across to complete your landing. I walked across from white rock myself in 2012.

CLICK FOR ROUTE Not sure why the link doesn't work. When google maps comes up, you have to remove the destination called @49.016... blah blah.
After that it should show you how to get to the border.

My Roommate did his landing at Tawassan last weekend, I can confirm this. Take skytrain down to Richmond, bus from there to Tawassan, 10 minute walk to Border and boom done.
