Vancouver New Flyer Trolleybuses In 1993

Wonderful seeing these Flyer trolleys again. I have many fond memories of Vancouver in the 80s and 90s. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent video. Shows how Granville was the main trolley bus connecting thoroughfare. Thanks for sharing Makes me very nostalgic!

I would love to go to Vancouver and to ride on their transport. I got a cousin who lives in Vancouver and she said to me that is such a amazing city with everything to explore.

Grew up with those E901 / 902 buses. Born just after the Brills were retired. Hard to believe that all the buses in this video are gone. The skytrain car seen at Main Street station are still around until 2027 if thing go to plan. Those hideous vintage trolleys tour buses are still around.

Nice. Just to clarify for accuracy purposes, These aren't "New Flyers". They are just "Flyers". New Flyer industries formed as a new company after a restructuring and change of the majority of executive officers from the original "Flyer Industries". Linked to the former company in many regards, considered to be a new entity with a different board of directors , but with some executive officers and the majority of frontline employees staying the same. But this didn't occur until 1986. The trolleys in this picture were manufactured between 1982 and 1983 , they even wore "Flyer" decals on their interior and exterior panels. So for historical accuracy, these are actually "Flyer Trolley Buses". Including the word "New" is erroneous.

Such a shame, I live in Richmond, and only rode on these beautiful buses ONCE

Nice to see footage from the 90's! I didn't get to ride those trolley's as much. Do you have some extra footage of the Skytrain around this time?

[@CitytransportInfoplus]

As it happens, I think I do - my video footage was only converted to computer format earlier this year ... I will try to get this on KZbin in the autumn.

BC Transit drivers were the worst (even some friends were seriously injured from riding those trollies), plus my second assignment working there had been barely a single week's worth working alongside that agency's H.R. dept, the bitchiest & cattiest one ever that had got imploring me not to ditch their employ :pfFt:

I heard BC Electric trained their drivers better; Translink are doing better because it is not controlled by province to save monry.
