By extra trains, I assume they mean 18-20 trains. Let's see how big of a difference that makes. That is a big percentage increase over 14 trains currently. Also, some of the Canada Line's extra traffic will be concentrated on YVR trains, which currently are the trains that have the most available space. This might turn out ok....
The worst Canada Line conditions will be on days when there are simultaneous events at 1) oval 2) curling 3) GM place 4) UBC 5) victory ceremony 6) on a weekday. That won't happen every day, only on some days.

Recall opening day, they realized 14 trains wouldn't be enough by 2 pm and put on 18-trains for 4 hours.
Wednesday February 17th will probably be the worst day for the Canada Line (aside from the opening day, perhaps). Look at this schedule for events that are served by Canada Line, and how they are clumped around rush hour:
Edit - the previous day, Tuesday, will probably be just as bad. While the oval event is earlier on Tuesday, the Victory Ceremony artist on Tuesday is the Barenaked Ladies, which will presumably draw a bigger crowd than other days. All other events are similar on Tues, Wed, and Thurs that week, and on the early days of the second week.
You can't really get to UBC from the Canada Line, though
No, but look at where the hotels are: downtown and near the airport. A large amount of people will be travelling to Broadway-UBC from either north or south.
well just remember while waiting in line for an hour two with your free cocoa you can be evangelized by the christian group - they will be wherever there is al ine up for transit
Evangelists (and Baptists and Catholics, etc.) are least likely to publicly preach or convert or whatever. It's the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses you have to worry about.
AddFare has been approved and will come into effect on Monday January 18, 2010. The rate has also been changed from $2.50 to $5.00 to leave Sea Island (no AddFare required to go to Sea Island). Also travel between Templeton and YVR is free. This only applies to cash fares. Pre-paid fares such as DayPasses, FareCards, FareSaver Tickets, U-Passes, Employer Passes and the BC Government Bus Pass Program are exempt. TVM's on Sea Island will automatically add the fare. If you have a one zone pre-paid ticket and upgrade at any of the Sea Island TVM's there will be no AddFare and "Airport" will be stamped on your FareSaver ticket. Click here for more information
Having it in the direction out of the airport makes much more sense and makes everyone's life easier. Now... I wonder how bus passes/U-Pass holders work...

Depending on which way the taxi goes. Some take Granville which is slower than Cambie.
If I was traveling with a family of 4, assuming young children, and their luggage, no way in hell I'd be taking the train, anyways! Magician and juggler, I am not.
