Skylines YVR: The Mythical “Third Crossing” for Burrard’s Inlet has existed for 43 years (since June 1977) That 3rd Crossing = SeaBus: a passenger-only ferry service, traversing Burrard Inlet every 15 mins. connecting Vancouver-North Vancouver. Owned by TransLink & operated by Coast Mountain Bus Co. >> Translink’s SeaBus fleet consists of the following vessels: MV Burrard Otter • (built 1976/Vancouver)[retired]; MV Burrard Beaver • (built 1976/Victoria)[in use]; MV Burrard Pacific Breeze • (built 2009/Vancouver+Victoria)[in use]; MV Burrard Otter II • (built 2014/Singapore)[in use]; MV Burrard Chinook • (built 2019/Netherlands)[scheduled 2020] • ••• The ferries are catamarans*, constructed out of aluminium, (quite rare when initially designed/built in ‘70s. Vessels are double-ended to travel in either direction without turn around. The twin hull catamaran design offers wider stance upon water, increasing stability, yet reducing both heeling & wave-induced motion (wakes); plus less hydrodynamic resistance requires less propulsive power/greater fuel efficiency. Plus they’re bicycle-friendly! ••• iPhone photos/videos by @christopherlylesmall @smallstudiodesign Shot #onboard one of 3 @translink “SeaBus” in operation —#seabusvancouver • #translink • #burrardinlet • #vancouvertransit • catamaran • #fastferry • #seabus • #skylinesyvr • #smallstudiodesign • (at Lonsdale Quay Seabus Terminal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGtfjE0hwbK/?igshid=aq402nxswf43
