I wanted to share a positive experience with transit. In the last week I had a trip planned and I wanted to try taking transit and see if it would work. I had a flight at 2:25PM to Montreal and I live a short distance away from Tunny’s. My wife dropped me off at Tunny’s and I took the train and got to the airport in ~50 minutes without any issues.

Now this isn’t the fastest (Driving would have only taken ~20 minutes), but man did it feel great to be able to take the train all the way there. It was a very comfortable and smooth ride. I just wanted to share the positive news to let people know its viable and possible.

If there was higher frequency on line 2, I suspect the commute time would have been closer to ~35-40 minutes, make it even more competitive with driving. I’m hopeful for the future of transit in the city :)

    Yeah, sometimes my wife and colleagues don’t understand me taking transit (I’m in the Vancouver area). But it’s hop on an express bus to a Skytrain station and take that train all they way downtown or to the airport.

    You get to chill and watch the scenery, or read a book, or catchup on work email. And never deal with parking. I find it relaxing.
