The City of Vancouver will host a transportation showcase project during the
2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, and reintroduce the streetcar to
Vancouver streets.
From January 21 to March 21, 2010, a demonstration streetcar project –
The Olympic Line – Vancouver’s 2010 Streetcar – will run between Granville Island
and the new Canada Line Olympic Village Station at West 2nd Avenue and Cambie
Street. State-of-the-art Flexity Outlook streetcars will be provided and operated by
Bombardier Transportation for the 60-day demonstration project (on loan from
Brussels, Belgium). Bombardier is a highly respected Canadian company and is
recognized as a world leader in rail and mass transit solutions.
The Olympic Line will be free for all riders and operate between 6:30 am
and 12:30 am, seven days a week. It will provide reliable and sustainable

transportation for athletes, visitors and residents alike – as often as every
seven minutes between stations.
