nitronuts Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 wait, I'm confused. Is the Olympic Village station always going to look like that or do they plan to "finish" it later on in the future? The Olympic Village Station will always look like that.

Columbo Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 The Olympic Village Station will always look like that. ugh, that's awful. It would almost look better with no tiling at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 What should we call our smart card? I've always preferred "Otter". It's cute and cuddly. "Orca" for "One Regional Card For All" was suggested by Translink when it first did studies on smart cards for Vancouver, but Seattle took note of it and used it for their own system. Some other names worldwide: Hong Kong - Octopus London - Oyster Toronto - Presto Montreal - Opus St. John's - M-Card Minneapolis - Go-To Card Philadelphia - Freedom San Diego - Compass Atlanta - Breeze Los Angeles - TAP San Francisco - TransLink Card and EZ-Rider Boston - CharlieCard Washington DC - SmarTrip Oslo - Flexus Melbourne - myki Perth - SmartRider Wellington - Snappercard Why don't we just card it "The Card?"

BuckyHermit Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Why don't we just card it "The Card?" If Aberdeen didn't already take the name, "SuperCard" would've been a nice choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitronuts Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Q & A re: Operating Hours on Opening Day Q: Why does the fare-free day only run from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm? A: We have scheduled an opening ceremony in the morning. Following the ceremony, we will start putting all of the Canada Line trains into service and the system will be ready to accept passengers by 1:00 pm. The last ride is scheduled for 9:00 pm so we have time to do necessary maintenance along the entire line to get the system ready for regular service on Tuesday morning. Due to the special nature of opening day, we are anticipating larger crowds than we would get during a normal day so we will have extra shifts of staff working. We need to give them a break between the end of opening day and the 4:00 am start on Tuesday morning. Q & A re: Completing the Project Early Q: How is it possible that you were able to complete construction and open the Canada Line more than three months early? A: A combination of factors has enabled us to complete ahead of schedule. We were working with an excellent system design; we had very good engineering; a great construction team; and very successful testing and commissioning of the trains and control system. In short, good planning and the hard work of about 2,000 individuals have made it possible for us to finish ahead of schedule and on budget.

Columbo Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Why would we name the card after a species that we're all slowly helping to drive to extinction? Seems a bit rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
