    OK, Hamburg… Munich… Utrecht… Maastricht… Antwerp… Vienna… Paris… pick a city. Hell, even San Francisco has better transit in the majority of the Bay Area than Vancouver. Basically, what I wanted to point out is Vancouver is NOT world-class.

    You don’t need trams everywhere, like Amsterdam. Something as basic as proper cycle paths so people don’t have to cycle in traffic would be nice.

    I get tired of everyone excusing Canada’s stupidity because of population density. We have to pay among the highest cellular rates in the world because population density. How about it’s due to corruption and lame excuses. We have shitty transit because population density. We pay insane internet rates because population density… on and on. They are excuses. Canad can do better. We (collectively) choose not to.

      This is like me saying “I’m sick of not playing for the Canucks just because I can’t really skate backwards, don’t have a shot and have trouble receiving passes.”

      Sorry but we live in the second largest country in the world and one of the least densely populated.

      Either the transit will be more expensive (thus defeating the accessible to all goal) be worse or massively subsidized with taxes. Same with cell /internet. Unless you have a magic wand, that’s just part of the deal.
