i guess reporters don't check stats either? There's way more than 55,000 cars that come into downtown everyday. looking at the vehicle traffic stats posted on the city's website (http://vancouver.ca/projects/burrard/statistics.htm), Burrard bridge alone had 66,912 vehicles cross on oct.2. Granville bridge had 68,998 vehicles. now add cambie bridge, the dunsmuir viaduct, stanley park causeway and hasting street and you get a lot more than 55k! duh.

"all the way from my home in Tsawwassen to my office at the foot of Granville"
i doubt this guy takes transit to work from Tsawwassen. so why is he bitching about the traffic when he's THE one contributing to it?

it's not a news article - its an opinion/editorial piece
