I think the people who were not able to take the WCE service should be reimbursed for the fare, given that WCE fares are higher. So those taking the 160 should have received some credit.
At that time I was riding to work almost everyday. If I didn't, I usually took the 160. This particular morning, I decided to spoil myself and take the WCE. Paid for myself, paid for my bike. Got on at Poco, had to get off at Coquitlam Station. It didn't cross my mind at the time and when it finally did all the thoughts of what happened that day came back in full force and it didn't seem right.

We were pulling into the train as usual, the guy decided to jump in front of the train right where the train was going the fastest. First I felt the emergency brakes applied, then as my car reached the platform area, I heard all these people screaming and crying on the platform. People were running trying to see if they could help this guy but I think they finally found his body under the second or third car from the front. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the front and centre witnesses of this tragic event went home instead.
