Those are some wonderful designs!
The scale model Seabus looks really cool!
I really like the Wayfinder map pillow, all the tshirts, and the picture frame plus the seabus bottle.
I really want the SCALE MODEL SKYTRAIN COMBO! So cool!
I like the water bottle
I really like the SCALE MODEL SKYTRAIN COMBO as I can now show folks what light rail looks like.
Cool products… I wish there’re more T-shirt designs though. There needs to be more SkyTrain-theme apparatus.
I like all the retro destination blinds items, especially the poster.
I like the scale models, been wanting something like this.
I like the apparel and throw pillows!
Interesting products, but not too much selection. I’d like to see more apparel products in the future.
My favourite is the mugs!
I want the scale models omg it’s been sooooo long! The pillow with the system’s map is awesome too!
I want the scale models, been soooo long waiting for them! The pillow with the sytem’s map is awesome too.
I love the Skytrain Map pillow and the bus blinds poster!
I like the throw pillows and the posters
scale models
I like the shower curtain
I’d like to see scale models of all past and present generations of the electric trolley buses: Brill, Flyer, and New Flyer (for the latter, both the standard E40LFR and artic E60LFR models). Also, posters with original 1980’s-era bus blinds that were installed on the old Flyer E900 trolleys when they were delivered; they had distinctive signs like “to Downtown only” and signs for routes that were planned but never materialized, like “Broadway-Brentwood”, “Hastings Express to Capitol Hill” and “Kingsway-Burnaby South,” all in the Helvetica font. Those would be great additions to the store!
The retro destination blinds shirts, and the skytrain beach towel!
I like the shower curtain.
The map pillow, by far!
Really like the shower curtain and throw pillow with the way finding map!
I would love to see them in golf size umbrellas. Now that the weather is not the best of things. I love big size umbrellas.
Hope the store will soon carry some bus models too!
Definitely the skytrain towel!
Scale Model!
There needs to be all vehicles models like all the different bus types and maybe the history models of busses of old.
Liking the water bottles
The like the retro destination blinds bottles!
Amazing!! Those water bottles are so cute :D
I love all the décor items! <3
So many great items – especially love the SeaBus merch.
Pillows! Squee!
Pillows! Squee!
I think the shower curtains are really cool, I like how it’s a very current map of the current rapid transit system, though it would be cool to see translink update it with every current and future extension. Concept Translink maps BY Translink would be even cooler as you as a transit user could actually see what Translink had envisioned for the future, which could become a pretty awesome collectors’ item.
I also just like the water bottles a lot. Consider how Translink/BC Transit’s Lower Mainland System had such a fascinating history, it’s nice to see that they’re occasionally celebrating their past.
Everything in the store is SO cute! I need it all. Will definitely be doing some holiday shopping!
My favourite item is the map pillow :)
The SeaBus and the 2 Mark II SkyTrains look really awesome
Wayfinding throw pillow!
Definitely the mugs. But I’d love one with a map on it. Would love to see a t-shirt, wallet and other items with a transit map too!
I love all the designs!! So cool!!
I need one of those models.
I love the pencil case! How about notebooks with vintage buzzer covers?
Yaaaaaaaassss
Those pillows are awesome!
Loving the pencils, and the sky train beach towel would make an awesome poster
The retro water bottles are pretty sweet.

I like the translink system map shower curtain.
T-shirts are my thing! I like the designs very much! Decor items are nice too!
I want these and I don’t know why.
Fun! I hope there’s more stuff coming! How about A Klean Kanteen partnership? I like those bottles. :)
Water bottle and pillows … great design … looks amazing
Wish to fet it sooon
The products look fabulous. What a good start.
A whole system map on an umbrella would be great. How about a focus on other hub areas like North Van, Burnaby, Surrey etc.
Lens cloths for eye glasses would be handy.
A lower price point would make merchandise more accessible to transit riders.
Definitely the canvas print of an old bus roll. I see those in vintage shops all the time (for just unachievable prices!). I can’t wait to purchase one!
Love the throw pillows and the T-Shirts.
Love the blue drink bottle
Love the blue drink bottle
Nice start. It would be geeat to have better items to hold compass cards (lanyard, retractable holder, a sleeve to attach to the back of cell phones, try special edition compass cards or be able to get your own photo printed on a compass card, maybe a transit umbrella or hat or toque.
the throw pillow is awesome
Neat
Rollsigns forever!
Nice.
Love that seabus model!
those throw pillows!!
Nice store, I like the seabus model and the model trains. Good luck with your store!
I think the models are really nice! I might think about getting one.
This is so exciting! The designs are cute!
I like the skytrain model best!
I hope iPhone 5S/SE cases will be included in the future—would love to have the skytrain map one for my phone.
I love the Bus Art Throw pillow!
Retro SeaBus Bottle, Orange & Men’s Retro SeaBus T-shirt, Dark Grey with Cream Logo both looks good.
Love the street name design!
Those throw pillows and pencil cases are so cute!
Love these!
The white retro destination blinds bottle.
It would be good to see front and back views of the skytrain models in the store, only see the side view. Maybe consider personalised items as they have on the London Transport Museum store. Good start though.
The throw pillow, for sure.
The Skytrain map pillow makes me think of all the good naps I have had from home to work and back. I will definitely consider getting one for my commutes!
The shower curtain, although it is wayyyy out of my price range!
Honestly the throw pillow is amazing. Looks great.
finally some transit merch for Vancouver
#NUMTOT
Beach Towel!! so cute
Can you make a mug with the system map on it? It’ll go well with similar mugs for London and NYC!
The merchandise looks really cool.
So far at the moment, really like the pillow and the shower curtain! At least there are more ways to roughly plan a transit trip!
The water bottle and cup are great stocking stuffers!
I really like the beach towels, very vibrant and colorful!
I’m really loving the shower curtain!!
The pillow looks so cool!
I like the Ladies Retro SeaBus T-shirt, Dark Grey with Black Logo.
The destination sign shirt would be my favourite.
Idea – CMBC hats
This is actually really nice stuff!
I love the bottle! :) it’s awesome!
