Transit buses handled huge Conference moves

The Transportation Division recently concluded supplying regular and special transporta­tion services to the largest con­ference held in Vancouver. The Internat ional Congress of Mathematicians brought to­gether about 6000 delegates from around the world. The transit system supplied charter buses for moving delegates be­tween downtown Vancouver and the University of British Columbia and other points. This was a huge undertaking complicated by coinciding with the heavy Pacific National Exhibition traffic. Its success was made possible by the ex­cellent cooperation of our tran­sit operators who volunteered for charter trips and for over­time work. The largest single move was on the opening day of the congress when almost 2000 delegates were moved from the U B C where they were housed to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. A total of 39 buses were required for this op­eration.
