BC Ferries: Arrival of the first Super C-Class Ferry
Thursday, December 13, 2007
The 'Coastal Renaissance' was on display in Burrard Inlet on Thursday, December 13, making its way under the Lions Gate Bridge around 12:30 pm, then making a 360 degree turn in Vancouver Harbour.
BC Ferries CEO David Hahn says it's been almost 4 years since the project started. "Certainly delivering it on time and under budget has been our goal since the beginning, and we're happy to have people finally seeing it." Unfortunately, rain mixed with snow flurries, and low clouds obscured the view for many people waiting around Vancouver Harbour and Stanley Park.
The Coastal Renaissance showcases a massive photographic invitation to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic games that appears on its hull. It holds 470 cars and 1,650 people, slightly larger than the current 'C-class' ferries. Hahn hopes the new ferry, along with two others being delivered in 2008, will serve the BC coast for the next 40 to 50 years.

Canada Line: Unveiling of the First Train
Friday, December 14, 2007
The South Korean-built trains that will run on the new Canada Line rapid transit system between downtown Vancouver and the city's airport will double the capacity of the current SkyTrain cars.
The two-vehicle trains will give commuters more leg room and more space for wheelchairs and bikes than SkyTrain cars, B.C. Transportation Minister Kevin Falcon said during the unveiling ceremony Friday.
"Between these two cars you can fill up 400 people on this train, which is a tremendous improvement over the existing SkyTrain. It's virtually doubling the capacity," Falcon said.
"That's going to be important, too, as we move lots of people particularly during the Olympics."
The Hyundai Rotem Company won the contract to build 20 fully automated trains for the $2.05-billion line, which is scheduled to open in 2009. Four trains have already arrived and the remaining ones should be delivered through to August next year.
Officials said the new look of the white, blue and green trains was chosen to reflect the Lower Mainland's signature mountains, forests and trees.
