As I work in Downtown Vancouver and live in Langley, I was impacted by the SkyTrain issues over the last week. <br /><br />I usually take about 12 trips on SkyTrain per week.Nathan Pachalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17647693133663879821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3299108886803608881.post-33761768812794526902014-07-23T11:27:41.709-07:002014-07-23T11:27:41.709-07:00Ummm, not sure how many times you use Skytrain but...Ummm, not sure how many times you use Skytrain but these last two, now three, recent instances are not remote. I have been on the train, and am not a regular user, two other times this year (2014) when "switching" issues delayed the train's movements inching us to station after station. Your feeble attempt to marginalize those who have had their patience tested more than two times, or three now, this year is not helpful and just adds more fuel on the fire to get rid of those responsible. It's not just breakdowns its questionable spending at a time when Translink knew it was heading for red ink. A new office tower with expensive art commissions, salary increases and bonuses, a fare gate system now 18 months behind operating schedule costing $200 million. Anywhere else in the real world and heads would roll! Stop making excuses!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
