Buses in Vancouver, BC (Volume Ten)

The tenth installation of buses in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada!

In this episode, we take a detailed look at UBC Loop, as well as at Metrotown and Downtown Vancouver on Granville Street. Metrotown at 07:33 sees something which is starting to become more common, but has rarely been caught on video before.

Enjoy!

@TheVancouver77

Well, when I filmed this in August, that was the only articulated bus on the 49 that day.

Metrotown exchange looks interesting. The buses have to back-up during layover? Seems like Vancouver has only New Flyers and Nova's, or do they have a few Dennis Dart's somewhere?

[Welwyn22]

@talldude123 Yeah they do.

Actually, Vancouver's CMBC has three types of buses in service: Novabus LFS (2nd and 3rd Gen), New Flyers, and Orion Vs. Dennis Darts are only found in BC Transit's provincial fleet.

I've never seen a bus carry a cycle on the front before or was it an accident & he didn't notice?

Actually I saw the cycle racks!

@TimBrown59

Heheh, yeah. Almost all buses in British Columbia have bike racks - its' an initiative to promote green ways of getting around.
