Expo Line - Surrey Langley Extension: Planning & Pre-Construction

[ilikeredheads]

Look, I'm not against LRT in general. It has its place if it's implemented properly. However, that is not the case here. It's being shoe-horned by Surrey City Council for political reasons even though Translink's own study has shown that it's a poor business case. If Surrey are the only ones financially responsible for building and operating their pet streetcar, then I wouldn't be so concerned, but they are not. When this project inevitably ends up being a money sinking pit, Translink will once again become the scapegoat.

Remember, Surrey wants to spend a considerable amount of money for an entirely new infrastructure even though it only saves people 1 minute of travel time compared to BRT. WTF?
