Canada Line


Today, is monumental day with the 2 billion dollar, 19km automated rail-based rapid transit service connecting Vancouver with Central Richmond and the Vancouver Airport - The Canada Line.

This will link growing residential, business, health care, educational and other centers in the region -- and adding transit capacity equivalent to 10 major road lanes. Tens of thousands of people are expected to turn out for the opening of the Canada Line.

Today Riders will be able to take a free ride between 1 p.m. and 9 p.m. PT on the new rapid transit line. There will be numerous of entertainers at the staions to create excitement for this grand opening.

This line is huge for Vancouver as it will enable us to travel to and from the downtown core to the surronding areas. As a destination based company, it will allows to travel to events and not worry about driving, car pooling and parking miles away from the race.

Some wise words from Richard Alm before he departed for his epic adventure to Australia - “Sometimes a destination can be right in your backyard, so you don’t have to fly half away around the world to do it.” He will be taking advantage of the Canada Line tomorrow as he takes it to the airport to leave for his trip.
