Question for #SkyTrain nerds: why do the LIM trains sound like they "gear up" as they're pulling out of stations? I would expect an electric motor to be continuous, especially in this configuration!

The place where the #SkyTrain, the #metro system of #Vancouver, splits into two routes, the bridge that crosses the #FraserRiver southbound, or continues to the east...

Today on Sea Island I saw a real #MysteryMachine, painted almost exactly like the Scooby-Doo van. The RL one had #ScoobyDoo on the left side.

Also seen: a man on tbe #SkyTrain wearing an #AnthonyBourdain T-shirt

The Liberals always go back on their promises this time it’s on 2024 announced transit funding …..and a $5 billion dollar cut……When Carney Cuts it is always the most vulnerable who pay the highest cost! I guess it’s because Carney’s billionaire buddies don’t take transit….. he is out of touch on how everyday Canadians live….#fediverse #canpoli #cdnpoli #transit #skytrain #disability

Mi oficina está en la misma cuadra que el estadio de fútbol (ambos tipos de fútbol)... También es un lugar para conciertos, así que muchas veces al salir de la oficina puedo ver llegar a los fans... o durante el día escuchar a los artistas ensayando... La estación #Skytrain Stadium está cerca.

Este estadio tendrá partidos de #FIFA2026... si la humanidad puede tener un evento internacional.

My office is in the same block as the football (both Soccer and Canadian) stadium... It's also a place for concerts, so a lot of times when leaving the office I can see the fans arriving... or during the day listen to the artists rehearsing... The Stadium #Skytrain station is close. This stadium will have #FIFA2026 games.. if we humankind can have an international event. #NightStadium #Cityscape #UrbanLights #ModernArchitecture #SubwayStation #PublicTransport #CityLife #UrbanScene #TrainPlatform

I saw the Mark I Skytrains in various states of disassembly this weekend, and all I could think was, "No disassemble Johnny 5!"

Concerns rise as Vancouver’s busy Broadway traffic set to detour to narrow side street | CBC News

One of Vancouver’s busiest bus corridors is about to be rerouted onto a much narrower side street. Transit advocates say the change could mean congestion and delays for tens of thousands of commuters.

The other bridge.
This bridge over the #FraserRiver is for the #Skytrain, the #Metro, the #Subway, the #Tube of metro #Vancouver
#Surrey is connected to #NewWestminster via transit via this bridge. (Surrey should have been New Surrey?, or even better QayQayt as the indigenous peoples called it.)
