17 UBC by Cindy Buckshon, another painting in her forthcoming series of Vancouver transit in art. Bonus points to the person who can identify where in the route the bus is located!
Update: Amanda’s reply in the comments is very close! The 17 bus doesn’t normally travel along Robson to Howe, does it? Unless perhaps it was being re-routed. The bus DOES go up Granville Street, and the Sears building is a perfect match to that big white building with a subtle grid pattern! I believe the painting is based on this Google Streetview, which reveals that the trees have been removed along that stretch of Granville Street. At present, the Google imagery still shows Granville is closed and awaiting repaving after the construction of the Vancouver City Centre Canada Line station. Good work, Amanda!
