Vancouver, BC, Opens the Olympic Line Trolley
http://olympichostcity.vancouver.ca/gettingaround/publictransit/olympic-line/
This free demonstration trolley line will run between Granville Island and the Olympic Village Canada Line station. If this works, plans are to expand the line throughout the city.
Given the resurgence of trolleys in Tacoma, WA, Seattle, WA and many other cities this is a great idea, especially in conjunction with Vancouver’s extensive light rail network.
NOTE: these trolleys were shipped in via the Port of Tacoma and then were truck-shipped North to Vancouver, BC. WSDOT has some photos of the trolleys at the port: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wsdot/sets/72157622929264204/
