**Rare** Translink - 2005-7 NFI E40LFR | V2111 on 3 Waterfront

Now this is a rare assignment. Route 3 Waterfront is almost always operated by 60-foot articulated trolley buses, specifically the 2007–2008 New Flyer E60LFRs. Seeing a 40-foot E40LFR like V2111 on this route is highly unusual and typically only happens due to fleet shortages, change-offs, or temporary equipment swaps. The 3 is one of the busiest trolley routes in Vancouver, so artics are normally required to handle passenger loads. That’s what makes this sighting special — a standard 40-footer working a route built for 60-foot capacity. 🎥 Captured on February 6, 2026 — a rare trolley substitution you don’t see every day. #TransLink #CMBC #E40LFR #E60LFR #TrolleyBus #Route3 #WaterfrontStation #RareAssignment #VancouverTransit #ElectricBus #TransitFan #GaryExplores #VTC #BusSpotting #MetroVancouverTransit #TrolleyLife #PublicTransit #TransitPhotography #LowerMainlandTransit
