Olympic Line (from Granville Island to Cambie Station)
The two streetcars are on loan from Belgium Transport Company spotlight Bombardier technology. The track runs from Granville Island to Cambie Station. Trips are free and run 18 hours a day.
Using the existing Downtown Historic Railway, these 100% low-floor modern streetcars will operate on the 1.8-km of upgraded rail infrastructure. The upgrade is the result of an $8.5 million investment by the City of Vancouver with a $500,000 contribution from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the administrator of Granville Island.
Even at 4PM on Sunday, we got on the next train. Everyone’s in a great mood and talkative. Lots of families are out and about and I haven’t seen that many people at the Olympic Village Canada Line station. The trip takes less than 5 minutes, but it’s worth the ride if you’re in the area. The ride is quiet and smooth. Maybe we should consider a streetcar from the Skytrain station on Clark to UBC.

Lots of folks out and about. This is the first time I’ve seen the Olympic Village Canada Line Station this busy.
