Rode it last week. Train to South Keys? Love it! Not a train head, but the seats are comfy, like the interior design, doesn't kinda smell like pee, etc.

Train to the Airport? Fine, but isn't it just the old North South train? Do like that EY Centre is one of the stops, though - I use transit exclusively, last time I took a bus to an event there was a giant pain in the ass.

the skytrain line to Vancouver is amazing. They charge you a couple bucks more, but its such a saving!

From CBC headquarters to airport stop:

  • Line 1-2-4: 57 mins, $4.05
  • Line 1+Hurdman to Airport Bus: 39min,$4.05 (bus will be only going to South keys after April).
  • Uber: 25 mins, $33+tip.

Well that's a little disappointing. I wonder if it's because the trains are going slower than the initially planned?

It's due to the single track beyond South Keys.
