Today marked the opening of the new Skytrain expansion line south bound from downtown Vancouver. Any Vancouverites take advantage of the free fare today? I just rode it (lines this afternoon were crazy).

Liked-

Ventilation was amazing. I've been numerous underground systems (London, Toronto,ect.) and honestly on a hot summer day I would not complain about being down there. Some of the station were colder inside than outside from the ventilation.

The stations were different too lol.

Disliked-

They lied about the time it takes. Maybe they were running the trains slow today, but I clocked the total run time at 50minutes not 26minutes, uh oh. Also the frequency and/or size of trains seemed abit minimal. However, they added the nifty LCD display train time clocks that most major systems have so you can nervously wait for the next train.

I was really looking forward to the Canada Line opening, but so unfortunately, I was out of town. My cousin got onto the Canada line, and made me jealous, and was saying almost the same things as you are. But, one more thing he liked was the design of the train. The canada line now connects me to the downtown of Vancouver, instead of taking that 40 minutes bus ride to the closest skytrain station!

I think the first day was a congested day with the huge crowds, afterwards it was its first day in operation so there were some delays. I waited in line for an hour at Waterfront station just to ride 4 stops, and it was worth it 4.gif I have to say though that the trains don't exactly look great, and there aren't enough bars to hold onto in it.
