Canada Line | Completed

[Hot Rod]

I have a solution for everybody:

why not have rush hour Express B-Line service? Have the service as a true BRT (as possible) with stops ONLY at say Richmond-to-Downtown, Delta-to-Downtown, White Rock-to-Downtown, Tsawassen-to-Downtown (no stops in-between). Have this during the morning and evening rush, and give the handfull of busses doing it, signal priority. Furthermore, have it go down Cambie instead of the B-Line Granville.

To me, this would augment Canada Line yet provide crush rush flexibility that Translink could shift once people got comfortable with Canada Line and/or moved closer to work.

I am very surprised that Translink got rid of the B-Line so quickly. In a commuter-centric city such as Vancouver, why not have a modified express route (like I mentioned). I like that we have a new subway, but they either need to re-work the busses that feed/support it and do much better with getting people on/off the trains OR implement a crush express rush hour bus from the suburbs.

Translink should be ashamed to have people's commutes and transfers increase at such a high level. They should be making things easier (and or faster) instead of longer and more difficult. Such a strategy will only lead to Inner Richmond use of transit while the outer suburbs just drive in (why hassle with it all). ....
