Translink Anticipates Shorter Than Expected Wait Times For Vancouver 2010 Olympic SkyTrains
Source railway-technology.com
Translink’s recent estimates suggest passenger lineups of approximately 1 hour to take SkyTrains to Olympic events, instead of the original estimate of up to 2 hours. Let’s hope they’re right!
If you’ve taken the SkyTrain recently, you may have noticed the barriers Translink has put up to help keep everyone in line, literally. Be sure to dress warm as an hour waiting in line, even an orderly line, is long enough to catch a chill.
Regardless of Translink’s reduced wait-time estimates, it is still a good idea to give yourself lots of time to get to your destination. When calculating your trip time, don’t forget to include some extra time for security screening at Olympic events too. It would be a shame to miss out and arrive just after they’ve handed out the medals!
