Ma.gnolia: Richard Eriksson's Bookmarks Tagged With "translink"

"Although the sound of the SkyTrain itself [...] can only be heard in the immediate surroundings of the stations, the accompanying changes in the landscape and the soundscape, now filled with transportation noises including cars, buses, heavy trucks, a train and two SkyTrain lines, are for all participants signs of a deterioration of this neighbourhood."

Based on the directions by John Atkin. As usual, I venture off on small detours, like I did today on this route.

Karen reviews Google Transit for Vancouver

sillygwailo — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 11:58:35 PDT

"There’s a sense of prioritization in the way decisions about how to get somewhere that’s different for every trip and person: what’s an express route, what bus will save me from walking as much, what buses are less busy at certain times of day, where’s Canada Line construction or a CN Rail train going to throw a complete wrench in things, what buses will pass by places I want to go, what buses can take my bike."

TransitMirror, a public transportation forum

sillygwailo — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 15:12:28 PDT

Major Canadian cities including Vancouver are featured, and it has a forum for every bus route, which I'm not sure is the way I'd do it.

Text your stop number to 74636 for the next Vancouver bus

sillygwailo — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 11:15:30 PDT

My initial text took 5 minutes to get a reply. That and the fact that the website is all images worries me, but I'll give it a chance over the coming week.

Rivershed Society of British Columbia shares photos of its SalmonTrain launch on Flickr

sillygwailo — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 17:43:01 PDT

The local paper said they had a gallery at rivershed.com but I gave up after a half dozen clicks. All I needed to do, apparently, was watch the 'skytrain' tag like I usually do.
