Tried out the new Canada Line

So my aunt and I joined the crowd and tried out the new Canada line which links downtown Vancouver to Richmond, and the Airport. It was the first day, so the trip from 1pm to 9pm was free. We went to King Edward / Cambie station, rode until Bridgeport, and back. We were supposed to go to Vancouver Airport, but apparently the line was so long that it'll take us around 2 hours to go back to the train, so we decided to just hop out at Bridgeport station, and hop back in going back to King Edward station.

It's really nice how they invest in something that will help everyone. Their 3 train lines pretty much go around Vancouver/Surrey/Richmond now. You can go from downtown Vancouver to Airport in just 30 minutes!

I wish Philippines would have better planning in terms of metro development and its public transit. That way, less traffic, less pollution, and more convenience for all.
