In 1947 and 1948, the British Columbia Electric Railway (BCER) purchased a total of 84 "trackless trolley" CCF-Brill T44 buses to initiate Vancouver's first trolley bus routes. At a cost of $21,000 each, the buses were bought from Canadian Car and Foundry (CC&F) of Fort William (now Thunder Bay), who had acquired the rights in 1944 to build buses designed by the ACF-Brill Motors Company of Philadelphia. The CCF-Brill T44 trolley buses (with 44 seats) began working in Vancouver on August 16, 1948. Between 1949 and 1954, 245 of the larger T48, T48A, and T48SP models (with 48 seats) were also acquired from CC&F. Wikipedia states that "With the delivery of the last new Brill trolley bus, in January 1954, Vancouver had the largest trolley bus fleet in Canada, 327 units."

In 1975 and 1976, 50 Flyer E800 trolley bus bodies were purchased, and the power plants from the Brill T44s were installed in them.

In 1982, 245 new Flyer E901A/E902 trolley buses were ordered, and the entire Brill fleet was retired. The final day of operation for a Brill trolley bus in Vancouver was March 25, 1984.
