Perhaps BCIT, SFU Burnaby (via rack or furnicular) and Kwatlen students in the Fraser Valley, as well as Trinity University, branches of Sprott Shaw far from Skytrain and other post secondary schools should have a rail based system too.  |
No, we hate LRT because we want the best for our transit system and refuse to settle.
And yes, if we don't get SkyTrain to UBC, I wouldn't want LRT, for the reasons you mentioned.
Also, I hope you know how ridiculous those comparisons were. If you have some weird hatred for students, whatever, but you still haven't come up with a real argument against SkyTrain to there.
