I doubt that HTC will build a museum but I think everyone here including me would love to see H7115 transferred or sold to Trams at the end of its operational life with Translink.

In my opinion Trams should ask the government for a little money saying that it will goes towards preserving the British Columbian transit heritage. Then if and when they get this money they buy/rent/lease a big airport hangar were they could store all their busses and all the many more to come and were they could work on their busses and restore them. I also think that some of the money should go towards hiring a full time mechanic to maintain and restore the busses. But of course this is just me dreaming and this will probably never happen. My biggest dream would be that one of the older fishbowls or something like that would operate on a route in Vancouver one or two hours a day weekly or that it would go out for a full day run on the weekends every week. The best part is, is that the bus would never go on the same route consecutively so it will give every one a try at being the first to spot it and everyone would be able to see a gem of Vancouvers history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, why don't you start writing your MLA for that. Now, to bring this back to reality, TRAMS could apply for grants from various cultural/historic funding sources, but they would be competing against other organizations around the province (or even country, since there are some federal grants avaliable to) for the limited amount of money. In addition, most of those grants are one time for specific projects, not blank cheques. Even ones for operations would need to be reapplied for every year. Also, if the bus went out on a regular basis, it would be given a specific schedule, not randomly assigned. After all, if the provincial government is giving TRAMS money, then part of the condition of receiving that money would be to actually have people experience the transit history. Having a heritage bus randomly assigned to different routes would not be conductive to that goal, and would only be there to give foamers bragging rights about something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
