Transportation Chaos Vancouver 2010 Olympics

[OnlyInVancouver]

The people on the bus clapping after it finally took off says it all.

The bus driver was the only hero in this entire chaotic episode.

had no problems getting to and from vancouver, absolutely no problems at all actually.

You should contact Translink before making false claims on bus drivers quitting their jobs during the games. Or at minimum the bus services to Whistler because the fact is. Zero quit their jobs during the games. Yep. That was zero. Goes to show your lack of credibility. Just because you're too stupid to negotiate a city in celebration, doesn't mean there was a glitch. If you didn't foresee transportation issues, than I only blame you sir, because everyone else did and planned accordingly.

Mazzucco8 see Nightly News NBC, 2/16 CTVOLYMPICS ... "buses to Whistler run smoothly, but many of the buses to Cypress prove no match for the steep road to the slopes overlooking Vancouver." Several dozen buses have broken down, "several dozen drivers quit, upset at onerous working conditions," while others "get lost" google - sportsbusinessdaily ..../article/137081

@OnlyInVancouver those were not translink or bc transit busses those were busses and drivers brought in from the USA mostly california many of whom had never even been to vancouver before tyring to find their way around with a paper mapblame vanoc if anyone not translink they were not responsible

[OnlyInVancouver]

A bus ferrying reporters to Cypress for the women's moguls skiing got lost and then broke down ... "They give you a map, but you haven't a clue, " said the driver who is from Alberta. The bus missed a turn, pulled into a mall parking lot and drove over a curb. On impact, two tires went poof. Buses carrying Jenn Heil and the Cdn women's moguls team broke down on two consecutive days this week en route to Cypress. google Ottawa Citzen newspaper

BTW Mazzucco8 we didn't identify Translink - U did

@igorvasilevsky Oh you poor Russian Communist Baby....

Upset that we kicked your ass in hockey? Upset that despite having a larger population we have more medals than you?

Sochi is going to be one giant GULAG! HAHA go home Russkies

[pilgrimpictures]

Weak.

Over-simplification.

[originalkush]

suck it igor

[JBaizful]

You lack spirit, I don't know where you're from but I'm from Vancouver and I was there every day. While there were a few glitches, the games went off fine. Any deaths were simply tragic incidents that have nothing to do with the credibility of the Vancouver Olympic games. It's people like you that ruin nationalism for others. Poor sport. PS. Learn how to spell.

[JBaizful]

You're only upset because your country failed epically. Get over it, Canada is better than you. PS. Learn how to spell.

I had a blast at the Olympics, but you forgot to mention all the asshole drunks throwing up and intimidating people on the late bus runs at night.

There was zero police presence on the busses and sometimes it was freaky, but mostly cool.

Survival of the fittest - higher, faster, stronger is the Olympic code and it was needed at night.

[OnlyInVancouver]

This bus was empty because almost everyone bailed out after waiting so long and walked or looked for another bus.
