Vancouver's brand-spanking-new Olympic Line train had its first run today and we were on it! It runs from the Athlete's Village to the trendy Granville Island shops and multi-ethnic markets (guess who had perogies for lunch?!). The train is identical to the Bombardier "Flexity" now in use in Brussels, with the interior signage in French, German, English, and Flemish. Flexity = Flex City, get it?
Not often you get to board a train on its very first day. The driver was cautious, the passengers marvelled at the low flat floor, and trainspotters from all over the world were out in force photographing and tweeting this historic event. One guy couldn't help himself and kept yelling "All A-boarrrrd!"
