This is now on my Medium
Expo 86 was Vancouver's "coming out" party and its theme was transportation. This of course coincided with the opening of what is now the Expo Line from Waterfront to its then terminus at New Westminster. However, there were a few rapid transit systems built for the exposition including one very useful monorail system.
having never lived in a big city in the social media era before now, it's incredible how the history of the past is now so accessible through the hard work of wonderful posters like this. it feels like getting a foot into the door of the life of a place i'm still getting used to. so damn cool
