But doesn't the 9 go down Broadway fairly frequently? It's got a lot of stops... but don't they also have expresses? (forgive me...it's been a while since I needed to go down Broadway). And I thought the next plan BC Transit's got in store is the LRT to go down Lougheed or something... or am I way off? All I know is that Richmond got shafted again about LRT. I think the (everything here is from my faulty/biased memory...) city of Vancouver was one of the ones who nixxed the idea. Then a month later, they started to complain about the traffic coming out of Richmond over the Arthur Laing. Some council member had the nerve to tell "us" to use transit (after nixxing transit improvement in Rmd). <roll eyes> OK, totally irrelevent. Patrick
