The Editor,
A friend and I attended the most fabulous performance last Friday by musician Maceo Parker at the Commodore Ballroom but we had to leave before the end because the SkyTrain was about to shut down for the night.
It's incredible, especially considering that with the new alcohol level of .05 in place, people from out of town either cannot attend or must take a vehicle. It is not been made easy for citizens to enjoy such events when their entertainment is disrupted by lack of late-night transportation.
We did not drink but our enjoyment was cut short by this lack of foresight by our transportation planners. It also does not make sense when we are encouraged to take public transit to prevent added pollution. Nor does it make sense when there are many shift workers who cannot take transit either because of this shutting down of public transit.
What goes on in the heads of the TransLink board? I am disgusted with this mentality and refusal to serve properly the citizens of the Lower Mainland.
