Peter over at the Cavalier (click) has this story. In short, the province is funding an expansion of the sky train to UBC by the year 2020 as part of a 14 biollion dollar transit bonanza announced for the province today.
From the press release:
Some transport-related questions:UBC welcomes the provincial government announcement today of a $14 billion province-wide transit investment to include $2.8 billion for the UBC Line in addition to increased bus service
- How will the transit station work with the current underground busloop plans? Where will the station be?
- Given the differing timelines, will buses be enough until 2020?
- How long will our campus be one massive construction site?
- Will U-pass fees or transit fares be driven up to fund this project?
- Where will bus services be reduced when the line is in?
- Are there safety issues with more public stations?
- Is the rhetoric of sustainability meaninful? How is the line being engineered and built?
