Really can’t wait for this line to open! We’re only about 2.5 weeks away from the opening date! TransLink has released data for its schedule and reduction of the 319 schedule. The roads (albeit everyone complained about that part of the project) looks BEAUTIFUL NOW! As a person who uses EVO CARSHARE and drive down there it’s so much more easier to get around and so much safer. For transit riders (when I do take the 319) it’s a game changer! I’ve noticed it’s like the bus never stops once it picks up at a bus stop! We fly by traffic and by the time you know it you’re already halfway there! It’s so fast and easy and once the R6 starts it’s gonna be insanely good for Surrey!!

Although it's at 91% according to TransLink, Scott/Nordel still looks like a mess during the rush hour

Used to think Vancouver was inspired by Seattle's RapidRide, but it has long since pulled ahead with the pace of development

Mr Juan da Man how are you doing fellow KZbinr and translink user Shiv here I have a specific question in regards to my future travels on the RapidBus Do you mind???

[@jmstransit]

sure //go ahead

[@thesupercarvlogger2555]

@@jmstransit actually 3 questions but I start with my first question so On normal days if leave on the SkyTrain heading back to Surrey if I have to fetch my R1 Guildford bus just go to Surrey Central and fetch my R1 Bus but when the new R6 Scott Road Bus comes in January I guess I could go from Scott Road all the way to Newton Exchange and grab the R1 Guildford bus personally I just want to try out the new R6 to Newton to Grab the R1. What are your thoughts about my first question.

[@jmstransit]

Nothing wrong with forking out 60 minutes to check out the new route

[@thesupercarvlogger2555]

@@jmstransit I agree and my second question is about the future R7 Richmond Concept that I just saw on the video how’s the plan for R7 Richmond to be more specific what will they start from and to where and when will it debut

[@jmstransit]

R7 is pretty much an upgraded 430 Brighouse-Metrotown with no stop at Bridgeport Station. It's off and on between Richmond City and TransLink and I've lost track.
