Took a quick jaunt to Vancouver this weekend. Experienced the new Canada Line which was built especially for the Winter Olympics to be held soon in Vancouver. We were fortunate as the rain stopped and the sun shone its merry face as we road the rails from Richmond to downtown. If you remember the news during the building of this system, many of the main roads were closed for construction and many of the shops went out of business due to the fact no one could reach their stores. But now that it is complete I, for one, enjoyed the ride downtown. This line also can take you out to the airport.
Two ways it could be improved:
1. SIGNAGE - we sometimes found it was like the blind leading the blind to get to where you wanted to go.
2. The Stations - they all look the same, white and grey. I would have liked to see each station a distinct colour with perhaps some art work in them.
But, they didn't ask my opinion when they were building the system.
