      I've been living in Vancouver since the early 90s, and it indeed has changed. Back then it was just the expo line. Then shortly after we got the millennium line. Then we got the Canada line for the Olympics. Then numerous skytrains stations been destroyed and renovated on the expo line. Then the millennium line been extended to go into Coquitlam. Now they're extending the millennium line on the other end to go to Arbutus. We also got a light rail line recently called the West Coast Express that travels from downtown Vancouver to Mission City.

    Here in LA, we're going through a similar situation. Route 720 on Wilshire is the busiest bus route in the US. It runs between Downtown and Santa Monica and suffers from overcrowding. One of our subways is going to be extended to Westwood, with stops at the busiest points along the way (Miracle Mile, Restaurant Row (La Cienega), Rodeo, and Century City). It's main intention is to reduce congestion on route 720, but many question why it can't be extended all the way to Santa Monica, where there is still travel demand, but ridership is lower, similar to UBC.

    The current extension is useful though as a downtown bypass, route to VGH, and it will help a lot of people get to the airport. Also, there were a lot of talking points from anti-skytrain people about "No skytrain for rich entitled students", so it was politically easier to only do a chunk of it. It looks now like the UBC extension has support from most of the relevant authorities, we'll see if it translates to actual results.

    Makes sense to me. Your video explained why translink is building to arbutus.

Other areas with higher density and commercial should be (and are) the priority.

      @@georgerustic3817 Because SFU is an area that's otherwise quite inaccessible. If you're, literally, going up a mountain to get to university, there'd better be a skytrain involved. Also, the skytrain to SFU doesn't actually go up to the university, it takes you about halfway up, then you continue the rest of the journey by bus. UBC is far West, but it's not inaccessible by any means.

    • @OwlMoovement
      @OwlMoovement 4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      The UPass is something students pay for in their University fees on an opt-out basis. It is steeply discounted but it is not zero. If the 99 is already being operated at a frequency that serves the dense(ish) employment and residential land use between Commercial Drive and Arbutus, then that modest fee students are paying is likely appropriate to the marginal operating costs of simply running it out to UBC. UBC is also a very large employer as a research university; their ridership demographic is considerably wider than students.
      There is also an argument to be made for developing ridership habits in students, who are more of a captive market at that stage in life, that may persist beyond graduation when they may choose to be discretionary riders in their post-university careers. If service is reliable, safe, comfortable, connects them to many meaningful places (live, work, and play), and makes a good value proposition versus buying/using a car (an immediately depreciating asset), those thousands of students who graduate each year may choose to become full-price paying customers. How effective this is depends on the qualities I just mentioned but Translink can best demonstrate such qualities through first-hand experience and habit development when students are more obligated to them; it is much harder to convince someone whose primary daily experience is already a private automobile.

    From the sound of it, Translink is making the right decision. The problem isn't the amount of time it takes for people to get to UBC, the problem is that the bus system can't cope with the demand.

    They’re actually building it right now. Very exciting. Another development is they put more resources to the R4 line in 41st, and now in UBC I think R4 is even more popular than 99. R4 is insanely overcrowded now though.

    Based on Canadian speed, if they begin to build the skytrain to UBC now then it might finish by the year 2030.

    I worked at whole foods on broadway and Cambie about 6 years ago. One day I was working in one of the stock rooms behind the dairy cooler and guess what. There’s an entire “Skytrain” station entrance roughed into this stock room. I asked my manager what it was and he told me straight up. That’s for when the skytrain gets extended to UBC soon. Sounds like they’ve already made these plan way before that new building on the corner of broadway and Cambie was ever built. True story ask any grocery clerk who works at whole foods at broadway and Cambie.

    I thought the Skytrain extension should at the very least go to Broadway and Alma, where bus service could at least pick up UBC students and shuttle them from there. Financially there might be a lot of arguments against running a line through the UBC highway, (unless it was a cheaper “at grade” streetcar from there. But it should go hand in hand with a four to six storey density increase along Broadway from Arbutus to Alma. The days of just a ground floor retail space with nothing above it along Broadway should have ended 20 years ago.
    Some of the new buildings around Broadway and Balaclava on the north side of the street should be the future of Broadway.

      The new wrinkle in the plan is the development of the old military site at Jericho. With a proposal of 30,000 people living in mixed housing there so the line would have to take that into consideration.

    We need Skytrain to Langley too! Trains are much more convenient, fast and modern. Well, I guess our transit is pretty decent already for a city of our size.
