The westbound number nine at Broadway station has been crammed at that point whenever I've taken it to work in the morning. If we added another couple of carloads of Skytrain passengers, two busses at the same time would be be utilised. Of course, the problem might be better solved with articulated busses with higher capacity. Or, even better yet, the proposed Broadway LRT. cjs -- Curt Sampson curt@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
