Vancouver Trolley Company

Establisted in 1989, the VTC originally built replica internal combustion "streetcars" for use on tourist shuttle services. Upon acquiring Perimeter Transportation in 2008, they evolved into a highway bus and corporate shuttle operator. The VTC was acquired by Westcoast Sightseeing in 2017. New fleet numbers for this operator are listed in parenthesis where applicable.
