That I could believe.  I live in Surrey, though, not Kits -- which means I
bus to the SkyTrain, and after that I get my choice of 25, 41, 10, 9, 4,
or sometimes 49 or 31.  In that regard, I find the connections alright, 
especially since I sometimes have errands to run on 4th, Broadway, or King 
Edward.

: What UBC really needs is a SkyTrain, or some other
: sort of LRT running out to it with busses feeding the LRT line.

It more or less has that with the 31, though.
