Olympic Village

Vancouver downtown historic Railway is now discontinued due to Financial constraints. It’s a tram service that operated on weekends 1998 to 2011. For the 2010 Olympic Games the tram was borrowed from Brussels from January 21, 2010 to March 21, 2010 that I’ve learnt that on Wikipedia. I wish the tram still ran today which would be very nice to take a smooth ride.

This is the olympic villiage skitrain.!

In case you miss the future of transportation: ELA (electric autonomous shuttle aka driverless vehicle) the free shuttle was available until Sunday March 3rd,2019. They were giving people free rides from the parking lot near Olympic station to Manitoba Street near CRAFT beer market

The Canada Line travels to the Olympic Village. Upon arrival at the Vancouver Airport, we purchased a Compass card as public transportation is excellent. Taking our luggage with us, we traveled by train. The Compass card is for transportation by bus, water bus, train and sky rail... We arrived at the Olympic Village, walking towards Whole Foods with luggage and all to buy groceries / water because we had rented an apartment, costing less than staying at a hotel. We took a taxi to the rented apartment with kitchen, washer / dryer, dish washer and started to live as Canadians... When we stepped out of the Canada Line Station on West 6th Ave at Cambie Street, we found ourselves in one of the fastest changing neighborhoods in Vancouver, a stretch of waterfront on the Southeast shore of False Creek. Just east of the Station on the northeast corner of Cambie Street & 2nd Ave, we took the pedestrian walkway over the Cambie Street Bridge for a great view of False Creek, Yaletown and the sports stadiums. As the previous slide shows, Olympic Village Station allows for North and South bound tracks. Very conveniently located, clean, all Compass vendor stands work. Highly recommend!

Great
