Daily Hive story on it:

TransLink's new regular-sized trolley buses will have an extra third door | Urbanized

TransLink's future fleet of new 40-ft Solaris Trollino trolley buses from Europe will have an extra third door, situated in the rear.

I gotta say, it's so cool Translink has confirmed that their standard buses will be three doors, and their artics will be four doors.

I guess they took a message from Toronto's streetcars, and all-door boarding will become a thing on their version of our streetcar network, ie. trolleybuses.

The spacing of the doors looks different than the white standard Euro version shown in the 2023 test pics, but that must be due to interior seating preferences. Curious what the seating plan is.
There's been all door boarding on the B-line / rapid bus routes for years.

It may have to do with a front wheelchair position. The bus for Vancouver has the ramp at the front door instead of middle like most other European buses.
