I for one welcome the return of the Loop Line.
It does look
ridiculous sharing branding with the Expo Line like that, though. I think we might need to start giving the "branches" their own names at some point.
Like say, blue/Expo Line from Waterfront to Langley, yellow/millennium line from waterfront and looping to arbutus, green/evergreen from arbutus to lafarge, and just for fun and because it still drives me up the wall that the Canada line is the wrong colour, red/canada line for the airport, light-2010-blue/olympic line for richmond.
Or something like that. having that dark blue expo line branch along nearly the whole damned map, and having an "expo" train potentially taking a confused passenger or visitor unfamiliar with our system so far the wrong way could they end up on the complete opposite end of Metro Vancouver. Imagine some poor Saskatchewanian visitor taking the "expo line" like they were told to, intending to visit a friend in Kits, only to end up in Langley.
