That's a 50% increase. Its like saying its not so bad working 12 hour days in stead of 8 hour days for the same pay. Every second adds up, every single one. We should be trying to make our city more efficient, second by second, bit by bit. Find what can be improved and improve it, even if only by a bit. But this, this is a joke and only takes us back. Makes our part of the world less livable. And a 50% increase in travel time to cover that stretch to tens of thousands of people daily for no benefit to anyone, that's ludicrous. Vancouver is living off of foreign money coming in through immigration. I dread the day that flow ever slows down because then these policies of not only under investing in infrastructure but down right removing it will come to haunt us.
