Is it just me, or is there something odd about this map?

There is something very wrong with that map. I pray that's not going to be the one used on the C-Line trains. I don't understand why doing something like this is so difficult. how come we can't seem to get things like this right the first time?

From what I understand once it's finished it's SkyTrain, Canada Line. Just like Expo Line and Millennium Line. I'm not sure if I like names or letters and numbers better.

Because the world is coming to an end, everyone is evil and stupid, there is no god, satan rules the world, etc.
This mistake on a Vancouver transit website is just the first sign of the apocalypse from what I hear.

Hey, sarcasm aside, it's still pretty annoying to see stupid designs like this. Just think about how much the people doing this are getting paid, then realize these are your tax dollars paying them, and this is what we get.

Many people here would be happy to design a better view for free...

I pray that they didn't order a bunch of station signs with errors, as with the Lansdowne Station signs on the platforms there were stickers, that didn't match the colour of the signs at all, covering and correcting errors on the signage.

Scaling and spacing between stations is off and no need to mention it being post-earthquake liquifaction. Also doesn't show transfers to Expo Line.

Metro-One · #**5611** Posted **Apr 23, 2009, 7:19 PM**

I am not sure if anyone else ever noticed but there are some maps currently on the skytrains that have a similar error, where Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows are shown as being under water (displaying the WCE stops). I always wanted to take a picture of it and wondered how such an error could get printed.

djh · #**5612** Posted **Apr 23, 2009, 7:33 PM**

All of you who noticed the error, to avoid this error getting into printed material and on the actual stations, PLEASE send an email to Translink and point the errors out to them.

TransLink Board of Directors: [email protected]

Thanks!

FYI... YVR's long range plan had originally excluded consideration of sea level variation so this might not be too far off.

I noticed a new feature about the Canada Line as I was browsing the new Translink website.

Smart Features
Cell phone coverage in train cars – even underground

Beautiful =) I'm not sure, but usually underground reception is pretty bad, eh?

I can talk on my Blackberry until I reach the platform at Granville Station, however the EDGE data network works throughout the SkyTrain tunnels.

unfortunate if you ask me...

my father just returned from Kyoto and was pleasantly surprised that they ban cellphones on public transit and I for one would have to agree that would be a nice gesture here.

Sounds more like a webmaster level problem rather than a Board of Directors issue - you should use twoneurons posted link.

So we have an answer to a long standing question!!

Why aren't you all jumping for joy?

Anyways - it makes sense that the Canada Line is just one line of the SkyTrain System.
