Restored British Columbia Electric interurban cars run on Vancouver's
Downtown Heritage Railway. The line connects Granville Island with Science World
across the bay from downtown Vancouver. Plans exist to extend the line on both
ends so that it will have an opportunity to provide regular service to visitors
to various attractions along the city's waterfront.
