The last time I cold-called for a cab it took about 15 minutes to get there--and that was off peak and I live 5 minutes from a cab rally point.

On a day like today? Even if I called every cab company, they'd all say "we'll get one there as soon as we can, no promises, busy day" etc etc.

Uhhh...aren't bandwagoners people who decide to follow a certain movement or passion simply because others do? This seems a lot more like people who all got shat on by the skytrain.

Also: you didn't provide the media. You hotlinked it from another guy and didn't say as much. Truthiness FTW.

keifun 09-10-2010 04:37 PM

I'm just glad that I bought a car and no longer need to rely on this sort of crap by Translink anymore.

Mugen EvOlutioN 09-10-2010 04:42 PM

transit was a motherfucking joke this morning fuck

took me 2 hours and half to work, absolutely fucking bullshit

half way to DT, than the train goes fucked. STuck for awhile than we had to go backwards. stuck at each station

finally i went back to where i started, took the bus home and fuck this shit, drove to work instead.

transit is expensive as fuck, u honestly dont save shit by taking their bullshit system other than save on wear and tear.

my house to skytrain is less than 5km and they wonna charge an extra zone which means i require to have 3 zone pass. Pff unless u got a v12 and gun it for less than 5km, no way it costs 2.50 for 5km

what a joke

Seriously, I saw every comment you post on each topics and all I see is you complain everything. Can you at least grow up?

Sure, they screw up a couple of times, but they are trying to work hard and to run the best transit services as they can.

If the skytrain shut down and should I complain? Depends on my mood, I will just chill out and listen Ipod or text to friends to entertain myself. That's how life works.

IF YOU WANT TO DRIVE TO WORK THEN DRIVE. At least don't take transit and bitch about their service. Sheesh :rolleyes: Perhaps, go find a new job or
become a bus driver and see how you like it or not. Either way. GET OVER IT.

first if you only need to travel 5km's the max you need would be a 2 zone. So why do you need a 3 zone pass? u must be stupid to be purchasing a 3 zone pass then. 2nd of all why are you taking transit if you seem so negative about the system? you said it yourself you don't save anything by taking it so why did you hop onto the skytrain then this morning?

BlacknJean 09-10-2010 08:03 PM

they said one of the tracks broken down.

something fell on the tracks and got dragged by a train. Apparently it damaged the track enough to fuck up the communication between everything.

If you take transit, you should sign up for transit alerts on Translink's website. I got an e-mail this morning at 7:30 this morning saying there were problems with Skytrain. Saved me some time not having for a train that would never come.

I don't even take transit and I can figure out he's saying that it cost him extra for the 3 zone pass as opposed to a 2 zone one. His house is 5km from the train station which equates to an extra zone and he thinks charging him that extra zone is bullshit.

Read before you rant your shit will make more sense.

Ouch, sucks for skytrainers

Then STFU and stop crying like a little bitch.

AzNightmare 09-11-2010 02:49 AM

Taking Transit isn't really meant to save you money or time.
Skytrain MAY save you time though.

The only thing you save by taking Transit is that you don't get raped by parking fees if your destination requires it.

I like taking transit to work/school, since it gets easy once it becomes a mon-fri routine, I don't have to pay BS parking fees,
And I get to take 20-30min naps, where my body gets used of waking up right before I need to get off.

Anjew 09-11-2010 03:15 AM

lots of fucking hate here.... shit happens.

remmeber the fallen branch that halted the skytrain during new years eve a few years back? yeaa...

BaoXu 09-11-2010 03:29 AM

while we are on topic:

here's to hoping nobody commits suicide on the skytrain for the rest of the year

danned 09-11-2010 08:13 AM

How come every form of mass transit has at least one fail every year?
