JeffOne hundred prenect agree with you on this Chris! I take the 488/492 to Richmond from Downtown most of the time and am so fed up with people doing this. It’s not as if these are newly introduced routes that might confuse commuters. It’s been years now and almost daily someone wants off on a Vancouver stop. I actually did have a driver once who refused to let someone off at 70th that was quite amusing!Another thing is the local buses along Oak always seem so packed and so slow, they probably figure the time saved by getting onto one of these buses outweighs the risk of being forced to go to Richmond.We’ll have to see what happens when the Canada Line starts up and if they keep these routes going I’m guessing not and everyone will have to pile onto the new fancy Skytrains, but that’s a rant for another day!
