Streetcar fitted on to track upon arrival in Vancouver earlier this week.
Looking for easy, affordable and fun ways to get around the City of Vancouver during the Olympics?
Take advantage of the 2010 Olympic line — the first of two sleek and ultra chic streetcars, arrived on loan from Belgium’s Brussels Transport Company Monday.
Running 18 hours a day from Granville Island to the Canada Line Olympic Village Station (Cambie Street and West 2nd Avenue), these electric-powered trams will glide across approximately 1.8 km of track and will let you ride in style, picking you up every six to 10 minutes.
From January 21 to March 21, enjoy a fashionable, cool and modern way to get around Vancouver while helping decrease traffic to and from Granville Island. Best news: it’s free during this 60-day period!
Get around town and contribute to greener Games? Sounds good to me!
