| What is your "OLYMPICS COMMUTE" plan?
Lets hear it.. especially with the downtown closures coming...
i believe the closures are 7am to 9am and then 2pm to 7pm.
Consult the map to check what streets are affected. http://travelsmart2010.ca/
Transit has released special 6week olympics bus passes at reasonably
cheap rates also. (effective feb 8 to march 21)
ME? no more driving for at least 6 weeks to take advantage of
parknride / skytrain combo. not too thrilled about it.
btw, how's security at SCOTT RD STATION? ugh!!!!!

I'm working @ the olympics as a x-ray scanner. I just learned today that I will not be working @ my home venue the Oval, so I will be traveling all over the venues. Sigh*.

Scott rd is grimey but a lot of people I know park there (it gets really full in the mornings).
I think it’s nothing to really worry about just be more concerned finding a parking spot.
Not too thrilled about taking the train either, but I got a pass that might get me through the blockades... hopefully. Then again even with that, not sure if I want to drive down there during Olympics.... It’s going to be hectic.

I'll be stuck between the Oval and the PNE...
I'll be having to travel to the PNE grounds to sell Olympic clothes for VANOC.
Commuting is going to suck. The whole street along Renfrew is closed  | |

How much is that 6 week bus pass?
EDIT: just found them. Two zone pass is $149. No real savings from the monthly $99 bus pass.

Any word on what the security procedures are for busses that pass through security zones? I'm taking the 135 downtown from Holdom, so I'll be passing through the figure skating rink and into the DT core scurity zone. Anyone have any idea? Posted via RS Mobile | |

I live in Coquitlam, work downtown.
I take the skytrain.
I plan to be late for work every day ( and I won't be making the time up either ).
