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
sy...
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.
Trolley buses: in ...

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
appears the ...

Since the required legislation didn’t pass the Legislature this spring, they will start by refusing to join the transportation minister’s plan to get an early start on work to select a new, unelected professional board of directors.
Falcon says the reforms will go ahead, with or ...

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?
W.A.C. Bennett & B.C. Electric
In researching this note, I've come to realize that W.A.C. Bennett cannot ...
