Vancouver has an excellent SkyTrain + bus network, as well as a thriving biking scene. Suprised to not see any of that mentioned in the article.
Although, the note the article ends in, it's pretty clear that it's an ad.
- dsaum 10y agoThe best source they could find for the article is someone who spent $1000 for a private driver for two days... I visit Vancouver twice a year to spend time with family. Downtown core is walkable. SkyTrain and express buses are often significantly faster than driving when you factor in parking and traffic... An extensive and affordable bike share system would be a great addition but the same forces (incumbent lobbying) plus strict helmet laws seem to be roadblocks...
- wvenable 10y agoI don't understand the point of anecdotes like this. Simply because we have reasonable transit (daytime hours only) and bike lines (if you have bike) that we don't need any more options? That's not much of an argument. I'm not biking home at 2:00am in December from a Christmas party.
