man, i was sooooo looking forward to this, to go downtown.
wy cant they have it open later so that people can take the train back to richmond, instead of driving. last train leaves waterfront to richond at 1:15am, clubs dont get out till 2 or 3. the train then opens up at like 5:15
why not keep it open for that 4 hours?

Skytrain's hours are pretty reasonable. For example, Paris shuts down their system at 12:30 AM and the last train in Hong Kong leaves Central before 1 AM.

They're incompatable with the expo/millenium line system.
what u saw were probably one of the 2 new millenium line trains painted in the grey colors like the trolley buses.

It's nice to have easier access to downtown.
However, we pay to build it, and pay to use it, WTF! Ridiculous to me.
