Getting Around Town - Vancouver's Public Transit

Public Transit boring? Not this video! You shoot through this rounded tunnel, face a Skytrain screeching into the station, see people pouring out of another Skytrain; take a nice, quiet bus ride on a trolley bus, take the Seabus across the water, looking at a cruise ship out the window. Then it's past the West Coast Express station, and onto the newest and slickest Skytrain - the Canada Line. Watching the people pouring off the Skytrain and other people pouring onto the new train.

I made this video a couple of years ago and there is no political theme to it at all. I just wanted to make a nice, little video.

rchilde1,

Sorry for my error. I really don't know any technical terms.

It just occurred to me that we are talking about 2 different scenes in the video. I am riding in a deisel bus but there is a scene of a trolley bus going past.

Thanks for the clarification. I just thought that since it ran on a trolley it was a "trolley bus".

@Lampheader your second response was much better.  Just saying "Fuck TTC" sounded stupid.

[Lampheader]

@2619920 nothing, it's just that this is so much better than the TTC

[2619920]

@Lampheader What does the TTC have to do with public transit in VANCOUVER?

[Lampheader]

FUCK TTC

SkyTrain is not light rail. It is automated grade separated 3rd rail metro.

You say that you take a ride on a nice quiet Trolley bus. The bus you ride on in this video is not a trolley, but rather a Nova Bus. Which is a diesel powered vehicle. However that is a nice shot of a Trolley passing by. :)
