Olympic Line
The Olympic Line is one of the six lines of the Greater Vancouver Metro operated by the BC Hydro Railway on behalf of the Greater Vancouver Transit Authority.
The Olympic Line connects to the Fraser River Line at UBC Centre Station, to the Expo Line at Broadway-Bessborough Station, to the Central Line at Commercial-Broadway Station, and to the Evergreen Line at Lougheed Town Centre Station.
History
The Olympic Line was opened at the same time as the Evergreen Line in September 2009 as part of the run-up to the 2010 Winter Olympics held in Vancouver.
Route
From UBC Centre Station to Milepost 7.3 just west of Fraser-Great Northern Station the line runs underground. From there, it moves onto an elevated guideway at Milepost 7.9, on which it continues until the terminus at Lougheed Town Centre Station.
