Lonely Planet review

This beautifully restored, clackety old streetcar hits the ancient tracks from Granville Island to Science World during a smile-inducing 15-minute journey. The railway used to be part of the Vancouver tramcar system, and today it's still operated by the city's Engineering Services department - you'll see retired uniformed volunteers, who used to work on the old cars when they were in full service, staffing the line.
