Just tried the Canada line skytrains
Posted on 22. Aug, 2009 by admin in Blog
I just tried the newly open Canada line sky trains today. First, I bus to Oakridge Mall Skytrain Station. Then I got on a sky train to Richmond Gridhouse. The whole trip, which includes skytrain and busing, it was bit less than 25 minutes. Usually when I drive to Richmond, it will take more about 20 minutes. The Canada line is really beneficial for me if I go to Richmond, since I can save some gas.
The new skytrains are much brighter, stable, and quite than the old ones. They is even more room between seats. When I sit down on the old skytrain, my knees could actually touch the back of the seat which is in front of me. On the other hand, for the new skytrain, there is pretty much room for me to rest my legs.
There is air conditioning on the trains, which is good, especially in summer. Digital display of the next destination is also a noticeable improvement from the old skytrains. Even at the waiting area in each new skytrain station, there also have digital displays which show the arrival time of the next train.
Overall, I am happy with the fact that Canada line is close to my house. I think I will use it very often.
