New route reviews: the 33
October 23, 2008
Just came across an interesting post over at Regarding Place, a really good local blog exploring public space issues in the Lower Mainland. It’s a review of the new #33 route, which launched in September and connects UBC and 29th Street SkyTrain along 16th and 33rd Avenues!
The writer is named Transitfan, so as you might have guessed, it’s a positive review (how lovely!). And now I’m interested in hearing more thoughts on the route too. Has anyone else taken the new #33 route? What do you think?
Ah yes, the Monty Python Railway Timetable sketch! I’ve done that on the Deutsche Bahn in Europe as well as with the buses and the WCE here many times — particularly for long trips to places which I haven’t visited before that lie outside the ‘frequent-route network’. I haven’t had a chance to ride the #33 though, as it only runs weekdays. I wish I could ride it on a sunny weekend afternoon when I have free time, just to see the route, as I’ve never been on 33rd Avenue before.
