1954 Canadian Car Brill T-48A Trolley Coach

Take a ride on a Brill T-48A, these buses served Vancouver until the 80's, now preserved by the Transit Museum Society it retains it's BC Hydro livery from the 60's. This is to my knowledge the first video of a Brill trolley in 1080 hi-def, so sit back, relax and enjoy your ride on a piece of Vancouver's history.

The first segment of the video shows the bus navigating a turn, the second (main) portion is an on-board "virtual ride" and the third segment demonstrates the stop request bell and exit door mechanism.

How did you deal with the guy who was talking so much?

[VancouversLocalNerd]

@nousername102 He was simply told to put his phone away, he wasn't all that happy about it but he didn't use it again for the rest of the trip.

[nousername102]

@VancouversLocalNerd ah i see. You know he was the very same doofus that wouldn't shut up on the Orion 1 tour. Man... what a moron.

[VancouversLocalNerd]
