The Olympics are coming! The Olympics are coming! And so, ladies and gentlemen, Vancouver must prepare. Beneath that foreground pavement lies a 21st century transportation miracle. Yes! A......are you ready?........subway! Or should that be "sub-ish-way"? Because, after all, along some parts of its length, it's high in the sky. Well, whatever. It will, actually, be a good thing once it's all done. The trip from the airport to downtown will be fast and smooth. And safe! No more need to jump into a cab (unless, of course, you're just too "special" to ride with normal folks) and risk your life.

Slowly, slowly, slowly, this burg is finally getting a modern transit system. Although I'll still be riding my bicycle, thanks.

Some days, I'm amazed that this city still functions. There is no part of it that isn't under construction. This shot is from the Cambie Street bridge. I shouldn't have even been on it. Blame construction. The last bus stop before my intended destination is half a mile to the right of frame (south, for you compass-oriented folks). The last bus stop used to be right at the southern foot of the bridge, but not anymore! Which, as you might guess, I wasn't aware was of. So, I wound up on the opposite side of the bridge from my where I wanted to be and had to walk back over.

On the "up" side, I got this shot.
