It will likely run on all the trolley routes. They're currently waiting for Transport Canada approval.

What’s pathetic here is how many on r/Vancouver support tagging trains like this. Losers.

This is where our money goes, cleaning up selfish messes.

I am not sure whether this is still the case today, but a few years ago I heard that Vancouver Bylaws did not treat graffiti as a crime and instead viewed it more as an art form.

In this case, however, this is clearly vandalism. It shows a complete disregard for taxpayers' investment and for the workers who have put significant time and effort into that project.

They said it's still mischief when they had the other trains tagged in Burnaby
