Along with this have been the introduction and expansion of competing services like the Canada Line, which has presumably drawn ridership from parallel well-ridden trolleybuses like the 3 Main or the 10 Granville. West End trolleybuses have been annually interrupted by Viva Vancouver, which probably dings ridership as well. <br /><br />In addition, there have been reports of increases in congestion making the buses less timely. This has tended to impact the trolleys which run on many core routes the most. B.Dawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16024573324413713914noreply@blogger.com
