Great video! The 80s aesthetic makes everything seem more optimistic.

LONGEST ANNOUNCEMENT IN MY LIFE!!!

My late husband was the project manager, I didn't realize they had shot video when the last concrete track completed. He also built the Columbian Station and constructed the Sky Train Bridge to Surrey and other sections of the track and Station.

Keep in mind Matthew Good was born in this city.

This would have made a great 80s sitcom…. Even has a great groovy theme song.

As long as there are people working in all the big buildings the rest of a city will come together. Once the jobs are gone, the rest of the ambiance and innovation deteriorate too.

Dang 😢 I never thought Science World could look like this in 1986 (in a good way)

I find it amazing how when u enter the tunnel at stadium and head to granville its a staight shot on a angle and then another to burrard on a angle then a massive curve to waterfront never get tired of that the enginnering was next level for that time so cool

the next station is get me off of this thing

oh i would love to take a magnetic recording of that

Can I say how this music is amazing? Because it's really jazzy, and I like it.

bruh thia is what happend in 1985 lol

Why does it feel like there was more people here

It’s been 15 years already? I remember the last day of these with Angus McIntyre doing the final run on 3 Main / Downtown.

Such stylish music!

Where’s the dominant Asian demographic that’s prevalent here in Vancouver!! Don’t see any in this video and if they are present it’s negligible at best Ffs 🤦🏽‍♂️ At it again, I see

Gay mustache alert at 2:51!

A bit late, but you happen to know the soundtrack name?

ahh, the city

1985. Vancouver was affordable, clean and safe. And you could read the signs.

That’s my exact bday, Dec 20 2011 :)

I miss those days!

I’d love to know what the background music in the beginning is called, if anyone knows. Shazam doesn’t seem to recognize it.

what’s the song starting at 18:11

The 80s

They did not use Imperial. I bet a lot of people at the time were asking, what the hell is that?

Skytrain technology" noisy, wearing wheels on tracks instead of magnetic wheel technology was the decision.

I was there! My family moved to Vancouver in 83. I remember expo 86!

Famous last words: "They will move through curves without screeching"

I wonder how much we sold them for cause shipping ain't cheap.

It's a winner!

Going to town has a few different meanings lol

😮😢❤

why Skytrain goes, minimal traffic jam! i love it.

Man you gotta love the music in these videos

The most 80s thing ever

If you take of your rose coloured glasses , you will see that It does not work

Vancouver was happening and hopping in these days...Today, it just seems bogged down it itself, with never ending delays in every area of the lower mainland. Add the cost of living, the retrofitting of transit..which never ends, and, well...the basics apply...stay out of downtown, or any other traffic chaos section...good luck in the winter, and pay through the nose for gas....Unless absolutely necessary, stay away from the congestion...The phrase..if you build it..they will come.....might be in question now more than ever....

And today....a never ending traffic nightmare being retro fitted using trains.....that used to exist years ago all the way from Chilliwack.......A city that has become hard to afford....Progress...? Vancouver was the West Coast jewel....what happened ? Do we think one day it will be finished...lol.

The up is always so much more fun than the down.

1985 I was only 13 years old. Now I’m in my early 50. I wonder how many people here feel the same?

great!

Awesome! Wish I had lived in those times

Wish we can bring back the old Interurban tram system. We had the foundation for a LRT long ago and it was ripped out and burned (Literally done to the Trams under the burrard street bridge) in the late 50s paving the way for the unreliable transit system we have today. You can see traces of it still left there is old track which runs across where the some of the skytrain runs along the old Morpole and Burnaby lines. The Canada line runs along part of the old Steveston line and most of the train track in Surrey running along Hwy 10 runs along some of the old Chilliwack Route (Which has been replaced by the 66 fraser valley express bus). Replica tram Stations have been built in Surrey the cloverdale and Sullivan stations in there close to there historic spots. And have 4 Functional trams (Metro Vancouver has 6 of the 7 Surviving trams One in Richmond, one in Burnaby, 4 in Surrey) running 5 times a day on weekends during the spring and summer between the two stations.

My favourite part of this is from 1:19 to 1:52 Also 7:06
