Title: Vancouver to get 3 more transit lines by the end of 2020
Post by: Sportsdude on Jan 14 08 12:34
All of the infrastructure will be completed within 12 years.
[a href="http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080114/BC_Transit_Full_080114/20080114?hub=TopStories"]B.C. to get 3 more transit lines[/a]
(I don't understand CTV's wording here, B.C. isn't getting any lines, lol, Vancouver is)
[ul][li]$10.3-billion in four new rapid transit lines in Metro Vancouver [/li][li]$1.2-billion for a new rapid bus service in Kelowna, Victoria, and Vancouver [/li][li]$1.6-billion investment in 1,500 new buses and related maintenance[/li][/ul]

weird, where's victoria's lrt? So i guess the downtown trolley idea for Vancouver is dead.
I can't help but laugh, Campbell said on bbc world service that Vancouver wasn't big enough to support more transit lines. lol

sky train to ubc
evergreen extension
