Excuse me, is it expensive to take a taxi in Vancouver? Do I need to tip for taxi rides ?

Not cheap, it's best not to take a taxi for long distances. No tips are required, but you need to book a ride, and the hotel can help you call. Uber is the best.
No tips needed. A little expensive if converted to RMB, and you need to be good at English and book a car in advance.
Taxis are expensive, and the meter jumps pretty fast. You really do need to know some English because most of the drivers are brown people, and they might try to take you on a detour. That's what happened to me last time. I questioned the driver, and he said he was new. In the end, they didn't charge me the metered price. They charged me what I usually pay. Then my landlord said that guy was doing it on purpose.
All taxi drivers in Vancouver are Indians. If your English is not good, I suggest you download Udi, which is the same asDidi Taxi in China. First, make an appointment, and then the driver will contact you. Most drivers can speak Putonghua.
