People are complaining that the opening was a huge hit ?? Too many people here inspired by Yogi Berra. "No one goes there nowadays, it's too crowded."

I for one thought it was an awesome event. We should be thrilled that many people showed up to check out transit. In every crowd I was in people were patient, having a good time, and excited to try it out. This free day could convince a few people to get out of their cars and start taking transit which will only lead to more infrastructure getting built. For a North American city this level of excitement is virtually unheard of.

Kudos to whoever dreamed up introducing the Canada line in this fashion, I saw so many kids excited to get those passports stamped. And a huge thumbs up to the people who built the entire line.

I live in North Van Lower Lonsdale. To me the seabus to Canada Line doesn't just mean easy access to the Airport, but a whole new city to explore in Richmond. I hope Richmond just explodes density wise, that essentially the temporary structural madness of the Night Market becomes an Asian inspired mega street along 3rd. All made possible by the crowds coming in due to the Canada line.
