6. My experience of water transport:
Seabus, Vancouver
 Takes people between Waterfront and Lonsdale Quay.
 It is fun on the seabus because you get to see the sea
airplane and helicopter.
 At Lonsdale Quay we have food and play crazy golf.
 We get the bus from Lonsdale Quay to Grouse
Mountain and Capilano Suspension Bridge all because
of the Seabus.
