| Let's talk skytrain
So it's about a month now that new skytrain is up and running. I know alot of people saw skytrain in Richmond with different opinions. Now that it's been up what are your thoughts.
Personally I've seen more bums in Richmond and even some junkies. Just hope it doesn't turn into new west lol. Other than that I guess traffic is a bit better in general.

what's the verdict: At 8:30am going from Canada Line to Expo Line would you:
change trains at Vancouver City Centre by walking up to Georgia and down Granville St station
change trains at Waterfront?
What about say 4 in the afternoon?
discuss.

discuss. | for both those times, if you have the extra 5 minutes i would jump trains at waterfront since its rush hour and you'd be able to get a seat to chillout.

DAISO, HERE I COME!!
My son and his buddies rode the Skytrain to Richmond from SFU. His buddies, who are mostly caucasian, were like holy carp, Daiso is so cool! I think the skytrain is good for everyone. Crime will follow, I'm sure, but it can be controlled if the authorities get smart about it.

Awesome store for school supplies, even though the fixed price doesn't make some items worth it, like mechanical pencils.

Now I notice they have someone that stands right at the fare paid zone line and ask people if they got tix if they aren't seen approaching the ticket machine first.
Which is a good idea imo. those turnstiles were priced at 100mil? You can hire 100 people for their whole life without paying that much @ $10/hr

bums might come to richmond now but they wont stay long, chinese ppl are dirt cheap. then last thing i'll spend a few pennies on is to a bum. lol. When they realize they arent goin to get any in richmond, they'll migrate back to coq and new west.

dude,
surrey central and gateway are fucked.
Gateway is SKETCHY
Surrey Central has a different group of random punk teenagers who smoke, swear, are drunk, and start fights with randoms.
I saw a kid who mustve been 12-14 rolling up a joint, then passing it over to what seemed like his mother, or a 40 year old sibling. Then they both enjoyed it, fucked to say the least.
I feel like smashing all of them every time I am on the way home from work, but I know if I smashed one, I would have 16 of them trying to gang rape my anus.
