601 VS Canada Line Madness
So as many of you know, on Labour Day (September 7, 2009) the 601 (and related) bus route is going to be rerouted from Vancouver to Richmond. The purpose of the reroute is to impose the utilization of the Canada Line--the $2 billion dollar rapid transit line connecting Richmond and Vancouver. But of course, people are being typical and resisting the change coming in September. Thus, rumours about the Canada Line and the disappearing 601 bus route are starting to spread and a petition has been started to "Save The 601 Bus Route". And in response, here are some facts I dug up about the changes (note that I'll only be examining the route from Ladner Exchange to UBC since it's the route I take and also because it would be a waste of everybody's time for me to examine the infinite number of other possible routes).
Can Collection
To start, I'd like to send out a big thank you to all the people at UBC that collect any inappropriately discarded recyclables from the dumpsters and garbage cans that UBC students tend to use so frequently.
However, on a different side of things, there is another side to that opinion after Saturday...
So like, oh em gee.
"So like, oh my God. I am like, so happy you're like, here with me. My last boyfriend was like, such a bitch."
"Oh ya?"
UBC: The Answers
This is just a compilation of some of the questions I'm getting from prospective UBC students. Since a lot of them are based on personal opinion, feel free to add yours if you feel differently. And if you're a prospective student and have other questions, feel free to leave a comment and I'll try to answer it.
The Truth About The Canada Line
The Canada Line, which is opening this Fall (Fall 2009), is a 19 km long rapid transit line connecting Waterfront Station (Sea Bus) and Brighouse Station (Richmond Centre), thus replacing the 98 B-Line. One trip from tip to tip is expected to take 24 minutes (and it also by passes rush hour :) ).
The stops for this rapid transit line are located at:
- Brighouse
- Lansdowne
- Aberdeen
- Capstan Way (delayed opening)
- Bridgeport
- YVR - Airport
- Sea Island Centre
- Templeton
- Marine Drive
- 57th Avenue (delayed opening)
- Langara - 49th Avenue
- Oakridge - 41st Avenue
- 33rd Avenue (delayed opening)
- King Edward
- Broadway
- Olympic Village
- Yaletown
- Vancouver City Centre
- Waterfront
Note: Just so that it doesn't seem like I'm pulling this information out of nowhere, Emily H and I attended a TransLink open house at the Fraser Valley Regional Library (Ladner Pioneer Library) today.
