TransLink puts alt-fuel buses into service
TransLink has put two test buses, powered by a blend of hydrogen gas, recovered from an industrial process and
compressed natural gas (CNG) into regular service carrying passengers.
The buses, converted 1998 New Flyer coaches as part of TransLink's Bus Demonstration Project, have been going through
evaluation for the past two years. Now, they are in service in the Coquitlam/Port Coquitlam area, carrying fare-paying
passengers to ...

British Columbia Electric Railway (BCER)
Transit in B.C.s three major urban areas (Vancouver, Victoria, New Westminster) was
introduced by companies other than the BCER. These companies eventually merged to
form the Consolidated Railway & Light Co. But a tragic event in 1896 ensured that
Consolidated Railway would not operate the province's transit. A river bridge in Victoria
collapsed, killing 55 people. Although an inquiry would later put blame on t...

The history of transit in British Columbia, Canada, is really the history of one
company, the British Columbia Electric Railway Ltd. It and its successor companies
-it was provincialised in 1962- provide public transit throughout the province. At
first, just Vancouver and Victoria, but beginning in 1972, the provincial
government offered transit service to various other communities. Some cities, like
Nelson, Powell River, and West Vancouver, already had municipally owned transit

Comparison of Modes
Adding up to a cleaner environment
Transit Exchange, July/Aug. 1998
Both trolleys and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses play their part in reducing pollution in the Greater Vancouver region. Along with diesel buses, they make up most of the BC Transit fleet. How do trolleys and CNG buses rate pollution wise? And how does each of these technologies compare in cost? After covering diesel buses in the February issue of Transit Exchange, we now tackle the rest of the fleet.

news 01/01: From a source in Victoria: Tridents were not to be put
out in service New Years Eve. But, apparently, they were.
Three had seats slashed on the upper deck. All have
been repaired using spare bolts of cloth sent over from the UK
with the buses.
Overall BCT is pleased with the Tridents and will likely
exercise its option for more, but this time with Alexander
bodywork.
Trident 9009 seems to be the odd man out... its body
was built in Birmingham, England, not Portugal. It

wac W.A.C. Bennett & B.C.E
One aspect of the story of the B.C.E. which has puzzled me is this:
It was the Socred government of W.A.C. Bennett that nationalized the B.C. Power Corporation, parent
of the B.C.E. But, the Socreds as they became in the time I've lived in the province were right wing, free
enterprise oriented. What would make them want to expropriate a private corporation?
