just got home from my canada line trip. cambie+49 station 30 minutes wait time. richmond centre 2.5-3 hours wait time. lansdowne 45-1 hour wait time. marine drive 45 minute wait time. this is as of 4pm.
trains are SUPER packed. this is comparable to MTR in hk, during rush hour. people touching people, arms rubbing with others. sweaty, hot and lots of B.O.
the trains all look nasty by now. the bars, doors and windows are covered with people's oil from touching them. the train itself moves really fast. crossing the fraser river took...1 minute. from marine drive to richmond centre took a measly 10 minutes or less.

^ haha that's around where I work. That line went all the way to hastings/granville, and then down hastings and around the corner at hastings and seymour. I went to grab a coffee and was quite surprised when I saw the crowd.

luckily I got to ride it on Saturday instead. Yes, crossing into Richmond is mere minutes. I want to check out the bike ledge/bridge on the lower side of the train bridge, supposedly it's quite a nice ride.

I just got back from a ride on the new train. I rode it from Waterfront to YVR and back to Broadway where I got off. Here are my first impressions:
- Trains are fairly quiet and smooth. Definitely a step-up from the old Skytrain. Hopefully these are easier to maintain down the road.
- The trains are wider, but still not large enough. I can easily see people having a difficult time moving their bags during rush hour. Another 12-15 trains to increase frequency need to be purchased to make up for the lack of length.
- The trains have a scrolling display listing the next stop and final destination. It would help if they had an announcement for which side to exit.
- The speakers on the trains are poor quality. The announcements are barely audible and are muffled.
- The signage around stations is poor. The font is too small.
- The airport check-in stands are a nice touch.
- The stations look decent enough, if a little utilitarian. Workmanship seems adequate, but not excellent.

I'm amazed at how many people didn't have to work and could afford to line up for this. However there isn't really a need to announce which side the exits are on, after a ride or two you'll know.
