SkyTrain cars named after British Columbia communities
The SkyTrain system honors BC towns with 114 cars bearing bold gold lettering naming each community. Municipal Affairs Minister Rita Johnston announced the dedication at a Vancouver UBCM conference, hoping the photo keepsake inspires provincial residents to ride the rapid transit system. Discussions include potential local radio expansion and possible changes to future EDC meetings.
