Yes, now its time for me to let off some rants about our lovely skytrain :)
Lets start with the fucked up skytrain ride today:
I caught the train around 8:30
The bloody train would stop on the tracks before the station for 3mins and then wait at the station for 5mins....
My trip time has always been 6-8mins....today it took me freaking 15minutes!!
Few people were really late to class cuz of that....except for them the train would stop at the station and then go backwards and then forwards and then backwards....
Now about yesterday:
It was 9:15am and the train was freaking packed... so i wait (with the other people) to let the passengers out before we go in...
.and then as soon as we are about to step inside the door slams shut!....and then the train just stood there for a while and left.....that was just fucked up!
So apparently 34 new trains were introduced this year........
AND! there are 14 more to come....
Seriously?........they are spending money on 'upgrading' station with pretty constructions.......spend the fucking money on a better system! one that doesn't malfunction!!
OH! apparently Translink is 'considering' a fare increase which might (will be) affective from April 2010 (news here http://www.theprovince.com/news/Transit+users+better+ready+fare+increases/2225196/story.html )
Toodles mon amigos!

The one thing that really pisses me off about Vancouver's public transit system is that no one takes responsibilities when shit happens. I'd expect someone to say something about what's going on like "We will try make it back online in 30 mins". Or just simply run a backup bus when one bus is down or something.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, Translink is being ran very poorly and I suspect there is a lot of places where money is leaking. Fixing that would compensate the need of fare increase.
Translink = expensive, very irresponsible and very poorly organized public transit system.
