Does anyone have the schedule and fares for the BCER Fraser Valley interurban line that ran until the 1950's? I want to compare the trip times, fares and frequency then to what is available today. Right now the only option seems to be Grayhound, although a BC Transit bus is proposed for next year.

Matthew if you do a search for the Yahoo group "Rails Northwest" & then join
the list. Once your membership is approved, then post the same question
which you did just on here. This is a local newsgroup based with members
from the Lower Mainland of BC & I'm sure someone might be able to help you
out?

Or Transit Vancouver may have people who can help. Some of them may be members of the TRAMS group - another possible resource.
