Vancouver TransLink Route 99 Commercial-Broadway Station B-Line Time-Lapse

Here's a time-lapse onboard the busiest route in the city, the 99 B-Line. Broadway is busy. Very busy. You can even see people in the front sometimes, simply because it's so busy there isn't room. As you can imagine, the filming of this video was a rather interesting... and painful experience, sitting on the wheelwell. The second song is from The Sims 3, which is why it's in an unintelligible language. And I'm proud of the end results! As always, thanks for watching, and enjoy the ride!

First song: Angry Birds remix by DJ Riggsmeister
Second song: Cat and Mouse by Darrell Brown
Third song: Fa Fa Fa by Datarock

@brownbrownson Even the operator wasn't too keen on having the passengers stand there, unfortunately there wasn't any room for them anywhere else. I don't know about the legalities, though notably there are a significant number of stanchions available in the area, though they are most likely to enable embarking and disembarking for those with disabilities.

standing in the stairwell in the US is unlawful. even so on the LF models where there is no "stairwell," but where the doors operate. interesting to see this is allowed in Canada.

@jemdude22 According to a document on the City of Vancouver website regarding Broadway: "The Broadway corridor is primarily served by the 99 B-Line; the busiest bus route in North America with over 50,000 passengers per day."

i thought the busiest route was a trolleybus route in downtown Vancouver.
