Trams and shoppers on an Amsterdam shopping precinct
I spent 20 minutes waiting at Main Street station the other day thanks to “someone walking in the tunnel between Burrard and Waterfront”.
I’m really glad I was out in the fresh air rather than trapped underground.
In five years of daily commuting, I’ve endured a number of similar situations. the longest being 1 hour on the swoop under the viaducts. At least it was the short turn and I had a seat… When it comes to reliability, Skytrain is like the old nursery rhyme. when it’s good it’s very very good, but when it is bad it is horrid.
