Re: the Transit hub... I dont understand why it would have to all be in one location. It has limited benefits and many drawbacks. , . .

Pros
- Easy access to seabus, WCE and C line for incoming travelers.
- More central location.
- Closer to cruise ship terminal (dont know if this really matters)
- Somewhat more glamarous location than existing looks better for tourists' first impression

Cons

- It would clog already congested downtown streets with large stinking deisel busses
- It would put unnecessary emphasis and strain on Waterfront skytrain station when at main st we could just spread the capacity between 2 stations.
- Wouldn't see street car service until later.
- It would clog up already congested rail lines on the waterfront with via/amtrak trains, hampering future WCE expansions
- Additional expensive construction costs.
- Uses prime downtown waterfront real estate for a bus terminal...
