Canada Line Opens!
Canada Line, which provides rapid transit service between downtown Vancouver, Richmond and Vancouver International Airport (YVR), was officially opened three-and-a-half months ahead of schedule on August 17. The $2-billion project is one of the largest infrastructure undertakings ever completed in B.C. It will transport passengers along the 19-kilometre route from downtown Vancouver's Waterfront Station to Vancouver International Airport in just 25 minutes, and is projected to carry 100,000 passengers per day, eliminating 14,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
