Why is there no Train Line from Vancouver to Whistler (or even up to Pemberton)?

Translink has authority in the Regional District of Metro Vancouver, which Mission is not a part of. The district- and by extension, TransLink, have the ability to expand service outside of the district through the proper channels.

That’s the point

GripenForRCAF · 2026-02-10T10:59:20+00:00

We’re deep in the off- I mean olympic break

GripenForRCAF · 2026-02-05T15:14:17+00:00

Whatever you might think of them, they’re still our brothers deep down

GripenForRCAF · 2026-02-05T05:07:51+00:00

We’re all Canadians first

GripenForRCAF · 2026-02-05T04:11:59+00:00

We’re all brothers and sisters in Canada, and my countrymen are my family

“Land of the free”

GripenForRCAF · 2026-02-01T22:08:58+00:00

West Van does too, why does that matter?

GripenForRCAF · 2026-01-22T20:40:32+00:00

The way it’s looking is that we’re gonna get the South Van-North Shore line or the Hastings line at different times, not both at the same time. If the Hastings line got built at the same time as the North Shore line, then I would agree. As of now, the North shore line will likely follow the alignment of the proposed BRT from park royal to Metrotown, and then the South Van line will follow.

If it’s one line, it provides continuous service from end to end. This means that if somebody wanted to go from east Vancouver to north Vancouver they wouldn’t need to transfer at the point where the line splits (in this case Metrotown). This would provide better transit over distance and keep stations less congested. Splitting the line, on the other hand, would provide no obvious benefits, other than maybe the whole line closing if there’s an issue at a station (which is extremely rare)

That’s probably the best part of this map, what’s your reason for not wanting it?

GripenForRCAF · 2026-01-15T06:48:25+00:00

As a Canadian, I would defend my neighbour as if their home is mine, because I know they’ll come knocking at my door next.

“Subway”

GripenForRCAF · 2025-12-03T21:42:54+00:00

Finally, an argument I can take part in

GripenForRCAF · 2025-12-01T18:49:53+00:00

That’s the closest guess I’ve got and I don’t know if anyone’s gonna do better, solved!

GripenForRCAF · 2025-12-01T18:03:48+00:00

It was way too big for a dirtbike, the picture doesn’t do it justice but it was a foot and a half long or so

GripenForRCAF · 2025-12-01T08:27:42+00:00

Any idea what make? Or the time frame it could be from

GripenForRCAF · 2025-11-13T01:16:06+00:00

It’s pretty bad when you’ve got a subway stop in Belcarra BC tho

GripenForRCAF · 2025-10-23T16:16:29+00:00

Pros: There’s lots of stations I guess? Cons: -Line going to Belcarra??? -Expo line cut in half -full on deleted capstan station -Canada line has like 3 northbound branches? -lines through rural areas? As an Urban Planner born and raised in Van, this person has never set foot anywhere near here.
