VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The Olympic Line Streetcar has won an award from the Canadian Urban Transit Association, after carrying more than 550,000 passengers during the Games, without a single reported problem.
The line--which ran along False Creek between January and March--was a partnership between the City of Vancouver and Bombardier. Two streetcars brought to Vancouver from Brussels made more than 13,000 one-way trips during the demonstration project . Daily ridership during the Olympic Games peaked at 25,400.
The Olympic Line was intended to showcase modern streetcars as a sustainable transportation solution.
