Alright, let me rephrase: when the *route* runs empty, it's only bouncing 
between Guildford and Fraser Heights anyways.  Cutting route 337 off at 
Guildford did not affect the "empty bus" hours because it never went past 
Guildford anyways.  It's the loaded peak hours I'm referring to.

Between the morning and evening peak hours, no problem.  THat's the way 
it's always been, I imagine.  But I still don't see why a busload of 
people trying to get to school or work via the SkyTrain should be dumped 
at Guildford at a time when the 337 would already require *less* time to 
take us to a SkyTrain station (thanks to the extension) than it used to.
