Whatever it is, with this guide you’ll be able to easily get from the airport to the mall. We plan to detail every possible transportation method, hopefully in order to provide you with all the relevant information needed to make your journey smooth and seamless. From public to private transportation, buses to private transfers, we are going to go over it all.

Is There a Train from Edmonton Airport to West Edmonton Mall?

There isn’t a train route that connected the two destinations, unfortunately. Although you can choose to take light rail (i.e., a tram ride) at one point during the trip. Sadly, this would include you making multiple connections, which is definitely not convenient. Due to this, we recommend sticking to the next public transportation option we will cover.

Getting a Bus from Edmonton Airport to West Edmonton Mall

The bus route, although not perfect, is the most convenient public transport option you have available to you. With just two bus rides, you can get to the mall in west Edmonton. To begin your trip, head to the arrivals hall, and locate the bus stop, just outside the terminal. Once there, locate the 747 bus to Century Park, which will get you to the city centre in around 24 minutes. Be sure to purchase a ticket at one of the automated kiosks, which accepts both cash and card.

When at Century Park, find your next connection, which is the 056 bus towards the mall. This one usually departs from platform C, and will take 30 minutes, although it has 35 stops along the way.

In total, the trip should take just 1 hour 30 minutes, and costs C$8.50 at the time of writing this article.

Alternative West Edmonton Mall to Edmonton Airport Transport

Transportation isn’t purely reserved to public methods; no, there are a few other options you may like to take into account, such as car rentals or just a standard taxi cab. Both come with a few advantages, but sadly are also plagued by some disadvantages.

For car rentals, you get the flexibility and ease that comes with driving your own car. One of the most significant disadvantages though, is the expensive insurance waiver you will need to sign. Although it is standard practice to have an insurance waiver, paying a large deposit can put a hinder on your spending possibilities, especially when visiting the mall in Edmonton.

Standard taxis may seem like an efficient way to get between the two destinations. The problem that arises with them, is that they can oftentimes be overpriced, with shady drivers sometimes adding premiums due to picking you up from the airport.
