Travel Tips
The answer depends on several factors:
1) Location of where you live
2) Mode of Transportation
3) Location of destination
4) Days and time of travel

Probably the best choice of transportation between Vancouver downtown and either Burnaby or Surrey is the Sky Train. The closer both your home and your destination are to the sky train, the better and faster it will be, as the fewer busses you will have to take to get to Sky Train stations. You can look up the Sky Train station locations on the web.

You will find that generally speaking, rents are lower in Burnaby and Surrey than they are in Vancouver. There are some areas of Surrey to avoid (whalley in particular). You will also want to avoid renting in the downtown east Vancouver, anything east of Nanaimo on up to Burnaby and including Burnaby isn't bad though.

As far as length of commute in time, it depends on from where to where and how many legs of the journey there are (walking time, busses, waiting, skytrain, etc).

Commuting by car can be a real headache, because you have to cross one of three bridges to get from/to Surrey from Burnaby or Vancouver. Parking is also often a problem.

In short, it's not too bad to commute between these various areas, depending again on locations, but as always, the shorter the commute, the easier it is on you.

Others
If you take the 'sky train", it ll take no more then 30 minutes.
