Canada Line Fizzles
The Canada Line is seeing major problems with a “stalled” train on the tracks. Now new EMU’s are not supposed to stall, but in Vancouver problems with the three mini-metro lines are glossed over by the mainstream media and of course LRT causes traffic chaos every day it is operation, if one wishes to believe the SkyTrain Lobby.
Today’s morning commute fiasco, brought to you by TransLinkAi?? is only “the shape of things to come” if we keep on the same transit path by building more automated mini-metro lines.
To add salt to the wound so to speak, a stalled tram can be easily pushed or pulled to the next refuge siding, with little delay in service. But then, TransLink doesn’t do trams and many people are beginning to wonder if TransLink doesn’t to transit at all.
