I love having something to contemplate and have fun with. Please put on more busses espicially during peak hours. If we want to become green please don't make us wait 3/4 hour for a bus that will actually stop between 8:00 and 9:00AM. I love the Art, I think it should become a permenant instalation.

But a trolley is a trolley and sometimes other routes might need the vehicle. We can't keep it out of service if a route needs it. Really though, the bus is part of the Main Street program, and we're trying to keep it on the Main Street route as much as we can. Hi Shane,

I have seen it on route 20 for the past few days. It is great to have this bus in the fleet, but obviously the trolley is not dedicated to Main Street.

David, as always, thanks for the photos! The bus looks fantastic in real life. Thanks Mike and Derek — good to hear the art bus is a hit on the operating side!

This bus is most certainly an eye-catcher, I personally rode on it before and it was funny looking out of the window and observing the reactions from the pedestrians on the sidewalk, they were pointing at the bus, or spared a minute or two to observe the artwork as if they were showing admiration to the artists' efforts to brighten up the street covered in white snow.....just exactly what is needed to paint up the white christmas (and the miserable weather :P) Anyway, I have captured photos of this afghan-wrapped articulated trolleybus over my holidays. For those who are interested, just follow the links posted below for the photos! http://www.trans-vancouver.fotopic.net/p55531722.html http://www.trans-vancouver.fotopic.net/p55531721.html http://www.trans-vancouver.fotopic.net/p55531719.html http://www.trans-vancouver.fotopic.net/p55531720.html Good stuff Jhenifer!

Sure turned a lot of heads! I was fortunate enough to drive the afghan-wrapped trolley on Main Street when it was fresh from the shop. Sure turned a lot of heads!
