I fell in love with Vancouver in 1986 and returned regularly from 1998-2009. The nose the skytrain makes is still a welcoming sound to me for some reason.

Wow... It's awesome when they let real writers and film makers do stuff like this. These days it's usually left to inept P.R. hacks trying to convey some lame "message". This is an entertaining, informative and absolutely capitvating snapshot of Vancouver's transit history. It's worth your time to Google the names of the people mentioned in the credits... Props to them!

The Vancouver SkyTrain is so awesome and really important for the city of Vancouver. I hope you Vancouverites can appreciate it! Building that Canada Line from the Airport to the Waterfront Station really brought Vancity to the 21th century and makes traveling for us tourists so much easier. :)
