Oh ew. What's with that colour scheme? I haven't been on a SeaBus for years, but is that the regular colour scheme used now? What's with the burgundy bottom?

Nah, we don't need those. At all.

Let's call it the MammothCard.

Remember, "We Are All Canucks." Even you, Bucky.

SuperCard sounds really, really Asian. CouverCard. :D

Those lawyers and people who live downtown or something might want one.

Oh, sorry. I've never read it, somehow. Sorry. EDIT: Either that, or I forgot. Sorry.

Ohh, that's great! So we're trying to implement a Hong Kong type system here. Sounds very interesting, actually.

So are they planning to renovate it when the initial flow of passengers stop or something? Oh right. Sorry, I wasn't really thinking. I hope they get this system up and running before they raise the bus ticket price or whatever, though. Will the same system be used across SeaBus, SkyTrain, and Buses, too?

Maybe they should have implemented the system in the CanadaLine as a trial for the future region-wide use? There are risks, though.

Then why do they need to rush the construction. Does anyone have a picture of the station? Does all SkyTrain line's end with that ugly thing like that?

In Hong Kong, the Octopus Card works everywhere... The price is calculated using the distance between the station you checked in at and the one you checked out in.

Is anyone even using the Olympic Village yet, or is the station just for pictures and promotion? EDIT: And are they going to make the end of the Canada Line near City Hall look any nicer? It looks like someone just cut off the cement right now.

Hybrid or electric cars? Maybe a reality within the next ten to twenty years.

I didn't understand the first part, but I'm guessing it's to insult me? Yeah, you're right, but I don't think they'll get around to fix the ticketing system even if the tolls generated enough revenue. They could have started by maybe implementing a new system throughout the Canada Line, maybe to reduce the cost on future implementations or as a trial type of thing? Just some kind of machine that guarantee's that the rider has a ticket. Maybe like those bus ticketers, but with a gate that unlocks each time a working ticket goes through it?

Hasn't Translink been asking us to take buses and the SkyTrain for years now? Sometimes buses and SkyTrains don't go to the right place at the right time. Maybe we should implement a functional taxi system? EDIT: Actually, that would probably cater perfectly to those dipsticks who like beating up bus drivers. Now they can do it in peace to the taxi drivers.

I'm kinda thinking of gang related activities, though.

Maybe Translink wouldn't need to have a new revenue generating plan if they fixed the old ones. I've came across buses with broken ticketing machines, giving free rides to everyone, I've been sneaking on the middle or rear door of the 98 without any proof of purchase, and I've been just riding SkyTrains without paying. Imagine how much revenue Translink would generate if they ensured every single rider paid his/her fare.

Aren't they planning to toll more than one bridge in the lower mainland? Golden Ears, Port Mann, any more?
