The senior governments failed to provide a rapid transit solution to overcrowded buses that ran every three minutes, which students, professors, and faculty staff had to experience for decades. However, the government is providing a 16 km long Expo Line extension to rural, suburbia Langley, where there is no B-Line, RapidBus, or any bus route that deserves a SkyTrain replacement. For me and many others, this was the point in time when I felt that the provincial and federal governments failed not only the users of the 99 B-Line but the high proportion of Vancouverites who use public transit.

What a shit take. B-Lines deserves a SkyTrain replacement, but Langley should not need to go through the phase of overcrowded bus, it should get the SkyTrain directly. A bus line is not a proper middle step because it’s still car-oriented infrastructure.

Also what’s the point of that poll, DH? If we could get “both”, there’s no point in having a poll. DailyHive never ceases to amaze me with such garbage.
