In Vancouver, we have an aggravating public transit system. Buses always run late. I repeat: always. Vancouver has a new subway system, the Canada Line, which runs from the airport in Richmond to the downtown waterfront, which has improved the system, but only enough to say that the public transit system is less aggravating.
The route from my house to school takes at least 30 minutes, but just 10 minutes by car. I also have to walk a lot compared to some people's transit routes. That annoys me, because the point of busing to school is so that I don't have to walk. (I usually get driven though, so I don't have much to complain about.)
The Lower Mainland would like to improve the public transit infrastructure. The proposed Evergreen light-rail line would link Coquitlam in the Fraser Valley to the University of British Columbia's Point Grey campus. This would have a huge, positive effect on public transit.
The problem is money. The problem is always money.
