   Obviously everyone else in the world is daft and the City of Vancouver engineers aren’t daft – skytrain with FTN is far superior to trams/lrv. There haven’t been any orders for skytrain since February 2013 and there is no need for a comparison to skytrain orders – skytrain orders are easy to count – zero.

   TransLink in doing business with SNC Lavalin linked to organized crime using extortion to buy politicians who inflate bids to pay off the Mafioso group putting a gun to the politicians and engineers deciding the “best” transit solution which coincidentally leads to “questionable firms” being awarded “big contracts”. These firms are building the elevated concrete supports for skytrain, are installing fare gates to catch fare cheats who are mostly penniless bums who ride for free or don’t ride at all and are manufacturing the skytrain cars in Quebec for the skytrain lines in Vancouver.

   Vancouver Mayor, Gregor Robertson is pals with former disgraced NDP Premier Mike Harcourt who is the skytrain kingpin as well as skytrain advocate, Vancouver Councillor Geoff Meggs. Robertson supports the Evergreen Line even though SNC Lavalin is building it. He also is a fervent booster of skytrain to UBC even though trams could be built much more quickly, would reduce both operating and capital costs greatly and would reduce the carbon footprint immensely – far more than skytrain. This is neither odd nor suspicious – nope.

   Very useful information. Sadly the likes of Rico and Richard would deny this because you failed to provide links.
