Vancouver's Ideal Transit System – CLC12 Capstone Project

Published 2023-06-22
Ever wondered how our Rapid Transit System could be improved? In my CLC12 Capstone presentation, I explore the possibilities of an 'ideal' transit system by delving into the history of Vancouver's transit network as well as current plans and expansions in progress right now.

  • Now that I've started posting full-effort videos on this channel, I'm beginning to wonder whether or not I should take down this video. To be clear, I do really like this video and am quite proud of it, but it certain isn't at the same standard as the other two videos I have out currently. This video was just a high school project, nothing more really. I didn't fully research the subject, and thus, am lacking any mention of the new 10-year plan or Transport 2050. One last thing that bugs me about this video is the fact that I use a lot of content that is not my own. A lot of the SkyTrain and Bus footage was just taken off the internet without credit and I would much rather take my own shots. If I do end up taking down this video, rest assured that I'll eventually cover the topics again in the future with my typical style. Let me know what you think of this and whether or not this video should stay up. Thanks!

    DO NOT DELETE THIS VIDEO. It's an excellent video that should be compulsory, for "city planners" in Vancouver and Toronto, to watch. One phrase that I like is "why implement the new line?, it's because it worked in the past". Yes we had electric cars (streetcars) which were dismantled by city politics interests in making money not to serve citizens.

    Thank you for finally including the Tsawwassen terminal! Victoria Residents hate taking our cars to Vancouver (and paying $250). I would love a sky train, but a tram will do!
  • @timtwoface
    I made an extensive video on a similar topic years back and we largely have very similar ideas, indeed! I hope they become a reality one day. Great video!
  • @rodneychan914
    omg just finding your channel now!! Great video, excited to see what you make next!
  • Great video explaining the TransLink system! Hope you get your R1 expansion to White Rock soon!
  • @Gord19
    Well done young fella keep up the good work!
  • @bananadashgd
    I’m sad I found this nearly 2 weeks later. This is so good!
  • @Trohnald
    You have such a great energy! You should consider making more videos about urban planning in the future!
  • @thetransitnerd
    I agree with the Canada line extension. It would generally be more convenient for people coming from downtown or the airport. Great video!
  • @sydakk
    As someone from Victoria, Vancouvers transit system is already incredible in comparison.

    I personally think Surrey dodged a bullet by not putting in light rail. It's slow, expensive, and doesn't move a lot of people. Vancouver is better off converting proven rapidbus lines into grade separated Skytrain lines, starting with a North Shore line to Metrotown through Brentwood and continuing on down 41st Ave to UBC. Next would be a line down Hastings from the new line serving the PNE and ending in the West End.

    Awesome video! Seeing the overlap between the tram and expo line was news to me too. As a former SFU alumni working at SkyTrain, there are a lot of plans currently in place and work done by capital project planners to project future ridership. New maintenance bays being built to serve these expansion projects and MK V trains to start rolling out this year which holds more capacity too! Interesting take on introducing trams into our network which is definitely less upfront cost but work require different infrastructure to maintain and service.
