Currently at IntransitBC, we are working to set a new world record while helping a number of important local causes, and we need your help to do it. Canada Line, in combination with Skytrain is currently the world’s longest automated transit system in the world. But this will soon end, as Dubai completes their system which will outreach ours by a mere 3 kilometers!! So we have decided to go out with a bang while helping a number of important charities along the way.

Make a donation at www.thepixeltrain.com and get your face on a Canada Line as part of the world’s largest piece of moving art! Any donation of $10 or more adds your image to the train. Hundreds of people have already added their image. Join them to become part of this record-setting and important charitable piece of moving artwork.

Gold was the colour of the month this February as Canadian athletes took home a record 14 Gold medals at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

Between 200,000 and 300,000 people daily were transported to and from the airport, downtown Vancouver and venues such as the Richmond Speed Skating Oval and Curling’s Olympic Centre. Our greater than 98% reliability rating meant riders got to their destinations quickly and on time.

Our success around the Olympics has shown tourists and residents alike that Canada Line is a great tool for daily commuting or to get you to the many exciting happenings around town. Ridership is up 20% from pre-Olympic levels and continues to grow daily.Thank you to the wonderful residents of Vancouver and Richmond who have proved that Canada Line is an important addition to Metro Vancouver.
