Incredible Insight Into a World Class Transit System
Amazing stories and breakdowns of how the world famous Metro Vancouver transit system operates. I’ve enjoyed riding the SkyTrain and all other modes for close to 30 years and having travelled in 40 countries and seen other systems, Vancouver and TransLink are trully world class. This podcasts sheds light into how the whole system operates day-to-day and how future planning is approached so that the network can grow and operate as well as it should. Fantastic listen and a well formatted show with perfect structure and pacing.
Superb
I would not have guessed that a transit agency would produce such a great show. TransLink really is an overachiever
Great
Great idea, great execution.
Absolutely enjoyed it.
I think this is a nice way for the host, Jawn Jang, to spend his time. He’s great.
I also definitely don’t have any sort of bias. Okay I do. I ride the bus every day and this is nice to listen to when I’m on it.
