There's 13 trolley bus routes. Dare you to prove me wrong 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20. Count 'em. 13. so stop saying there's 12. Stormscape 09:54, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

• Well... :) technically - the wires have been removed from Cambie street while the skytrain is being built. So for the next four years the 15 is diesel and your could say there were only 12 trolley runs. --Bookandcoffee 17:11, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Ah but not all the trolley wires have been removed. Anyways for now, let's leave it at 13.

It's inconceivable that TransLink will spend the money to restore the trolley wires on Cambie Street. — Usgnus 22:33, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

D60LFR or DE60LFR

I think 8102-8117 and 8118-8157 are DE60LFR and not D60LFR. [This photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/atomictaco/3975972129/in/set-72157622380909217/] shows 8148 and it clearly has a battery pack on top. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atomic Taco (talk • contribs) 23:17, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Interesting, i ran some searches myself and found these images on flickr [1]. Could CMBC have both D an DE models?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nebrot (talk • contribs) 05:21, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

8102-8117 are D60LFR and 8118-8156 are DE60LFR. 8117 is the last D60LFR and 8118 is the first DE60LFR. Skyy Train (talk) 07:55, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Bus rapid transit?

The section of the article devoted to the B-Line(s) currently says "B-Line is a Bus Rapid Transit system". The articles on the individual B-routes make essentially the same claim.

The standard meaning of the term bus rapid transit is confined to routes that run buses largely or entirely in a dedicated right of way. If BRT is not an official Vancouver term none of the articles should say this. If Vancouver officials use the term "bus rapid transit" in a non-standard way the articles should qualify its use, saying something like "the B-Lines are called a bus rapid transit system by Vancouver officials, although it does not use a dedicated right of way."

If TransLink posts something on their website explicitly saying that B-Line is a BRT system, then that's official enough for me. Cganuelas (talk) 21:33, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
