SkyTrain: Service Disruptions. SkyTrain Major Jul 21 2014

Due to a technical issue at Skytrain, there are significant delays impacting the Expo & Millennium Line trains. It is also impacting our ability to communicate to passengers in train cars or platforms. We are working hard to resolve this issue. For those passengers in the trains, please stay in the cars until instructed. Thank-you for your patience.

Please contact us at 604-953-3333 if you require route planning assistance.

here is a pic taken 10mins ago.... people on the frickin tracks trying to get off the stuck trains.

that's pretty funny :lol

:lawl:

Were those people told to get off the train and go on the tracks? If not then that's pretty dumb of them. If they were told to do that then Translink is out of their fucking minds for that.

I don't ride transit all that much anymore, aside from the ocasional seabus ride. When I used to transit to school it the skytrain and busses were pretty reliable. I was late maybe once or twice in two years due to their disruptions...

EDIT: Wow those people just decided to hop onto the live rails without any instructions, proof that one retard really can lead a crowd of people.

Lol.. Fuckin skidtrain

If I was on the old expo line with no AC and the car stopped for 20+ I'd probably be cracking the door and walking out as well

Except it was the newer skytrain that comes with AC is what those people walked out of...

unless of course AC cut out with the communication system

transit not even once :lawl:

looks pretty safe to me :drunk:

Lol public transit

Yeah...

Let's walk out onto the path of an unmanned, computer-controlled train.
...When the train stopped because of a computer problem.

toll skytrain for delays

Especially if it was on a hot day and you were sitting next to someone with BO!

Translink shut down power on all the tracks and their employees went to open the doors to guide them back to the nearest station.

they might as well start playing this song everytime this happens

:pokerface:

shitty day for the staff... gotta walk to every train and walk back

According to VanCityBuzz:

Major SkyTrain shutdown due to technical issues

I'm so happy I don't take the skytrain anymore. It's a fucken joke we spend so much for it and shit like this happens when all the big bosses get million dollar bonuses

:joy: :lawl:

Attendants were walking out to trains and safely letting people off.

Edit: INB4 Translink wants to up the taxes to "upgrade their computer systems from 1986 Expo System."

typical of them. a shit ton of miscommunication.

Man, translink is really fcking up big time.

I was stuck on the skytrain a month ago for 30 minutes. luckily there was A/C. but I can just imagine being stuck there next to some guy with huge B/O sticking his arms up holding onto the railing bars and armpits pointing your way. People need to use deodorant.

My biggest fear is having a strong urge to take a shit while riding the skytrain and it shuts down in between stations. #theshitIhavetodealwith
