CanadaLine celebrations - and practicalities

Permalink | 01/09/09 | Categories: Airports, Handling, Railways, Ticketing, State of the ART | by: A Sharp English (UK)

Vancouver International Airport published two interesting articles in its latest on-line newsletter: both were about the Canada Line light metro between airport and city, which opened 3.5 months early last month.

One tells you what the 80,000 people who used the line on its first half-day, when the ride was free, did. Many rode to the airport, which very sensibly laid on a whole series of family-friendly events. I'd expect nothing less from this airport - it's stunning!

The other gives you practical information about the line - fares, times, stops and so on.

Look at Vancouver Airports Authority website

I'm looking forward to riding the line next month. On 19/20 October, IARO is running its next conference, "Successful light rail to airports", at the Fairmont Waterfront hotel adjacent to Canada Line's downtown terminus. On 20th, we are having a half-day behind-the-scenes trip to see the operations and maintenance centres. For details, look at IARO's web-site
