Tour Bus and Tour Van Parking on Granville Island

In March 2018 Granville Island proposed the removal of all free tour bus parking.  This caused a lot of concern from the tour industry especially regarding the quick implementation of this such that the tour companies could not adjust their rates for parking fees.  There have been meetings since to discuss this proposal.  This decision will likely reduce the number of visitors to Granville Island because many tour companies will refuse to go there anymore.  So, this is likely to affect the businesses on Granville Island negatively.  One wonders why they aren't more upset about this change...one bus can be up to 50 people!

The current policy, as far as we can tell is, from May 1 to Sep 30, all tour buses entering Granville Island before 6pm must purchase a day permit.  This is just to enter because there will not be any bus parking available!  From May 1 to Sep 30 after 6pm AND from Oct 1 to Apr 30, there will be some bus parking stalls available for $10/hour on a first come, first serve basis.
