Death to Skytrain

[ziggyzoo]

What a farce, another rush hour of standing in line not moving. Thank you Expo 86, your train infrastructure is 30 years old, Union lazy ass run, and always wanting more money to fund an already expensive ride. My buddy is a Skytrain cop, love him, but he makes more than my highly trained technological ass$$$$$$$$$$ just to hand out tickets, umm, how's that turnstile doing?......

I'm done.

The more I hear about sky train the more I love my car.

Not a birds nest, a "timeout"

I'm a computer techie, timeout is essentially a network issue, lack of communication, basically the network that runs the damn thing is down.

The network, the old track, the old retired cops milking the system dry, the turnstiles that don't work, old Betty on the microphone we can't hear....oh I'm so done

 

[ziggyzoo]

I have a techie friend who works for Translink, smart dude, really smart, techies are smart but they are handicapped by the b.s. of politics and red tape that surrounds them, no real hope there, I worked in a union years ago, ha okay if you are in one it's great.......until some suit comes along and busts it into a private company, then you're screwed.

Their network is run from a freaking floppy disk!!

Yep there on the TRS 80 from Radio Shack

They may have to upgrade to the Commodore VIC20

If the get there YES vote they might be able to get the Commodore 128

Times have changed

I run my home Network from the Intel NUC, it's the size of my hand, I run 2 domain controllers, 6 virtual machines, an Exchange Server, and a McAfee Antivirus server from it.

Being a current techie is tough, I use all that stuff so that I can test scenarios. Gotta get my new certifications every 2 years, I'm in home school all the time, oh and I work 70 hours per week.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Or just buy a car LOL.

Thanks, I have a car, I choose not to pay 28 bucks per day to park the damn hunk of metal.

You know what I heard today? That Port Mann bridge is a parking lot! Don't they wish they took the Skytrain!

Sure...like all the commuters could actually FIT in the Sky Train system.
Would rather be stuck in traffic once in a while then stuck on the Sky Train.
Imagine the body odor of 45 people in one Sky Train car with no AC...no thanks.....

At least stuck in the Port Mann parking lot I would only have my own personal stench to deal with- not the BO, perfume, halitosis, shit-pants, barf, etc. of all the other wretches on the train.

What they have this problem in the world's most livable city?

Such a mellow, laid back city that they even close major roadways for yoga sessions.

And cyclists...don't forget the cyclists...oh wait...they've been there and done that...LOL
