The bus service into UBC is very good if you live in Kitsalino, but if
you are somewhere where you need to transfer (such as Marpole) then it
can take a long time.  What UBC really needs is a SkyTrain, or some other
sort of LRT running out to it with busses feeding the LRT line.

-> I can't speak for SFU,

I tried to take a bus from 22nd & Oak to SFU once.  It took nearly two hours.
Perhaps half of that time was spent waiting for connexions.  This was a few
years ago so hopefully it has improved since then.
