Whenever a train arrives at a station, there are delays as passengers (especially tourists to YVR) shuffle back and forth with their multiple pieces of luggage. Even a strip of masking tape will be a great help for cyclists, strollers, wheelchairs, as well as travelers with luggage. They will know where to stand and queue for This is also much easier for transit police to ticket cyclists who ignore the bike area and choose to block the Canada Line doors creating safety issues. Unlike Mark 1's and 2's all the Canada Line trains are consistent. When we have future longer train configurations, we can program the trains to stop where the common areas can still be aligned at these load zones. In San Francisco, the electronic platform signage notifies the arriving train lengths to speed passenger loading. If I'm not mistaken, Expo Line signage did the same in the late 80's.

She was asked to rerecord the announcements so that's why they sound slightly different before and after the Line opened. I believe it's because the first set of recordings was a bit too fast to hear. It’s definitely Laureen.

Jhen, can you clarify on this?

I think the Canada Line is great and because I don't have a car, it really expands "my" city for me. I see myself taking the train to King Ed on a saturday, then shopping my way down to Broadway station. Jhenifer, you said they almost reached 100,000 yesterday? WOW! Hopefully once the lookiloo's fade away and the buses start feeding in to the new line on Sept 7 they continue to reach 100,000 riders per day - or more. I'd really like to see this line be wildly successful. I went to Milestones at YVR for dinner last night!
