Hamilton is playing itself for once. The city takes quite a prominent role in the show too, mentioned by name with lots of local references and filmed in lots of locations that are familiar to people who know Hamilton. I've actually gotten into the show, it's a surprisingly good production (especially for a Canadian show) and it gets better each episode. It's about insurance scams and mobs and gangs. Plenty of sex and violence of course.

I was thinking the same thing. Weather wise, I don't remember it being so nice and sunny out after our brief encounter with the snow in December. If I recall, it was a Pineapple Express and just rained, then snowed, then rained again without sunshine in the middle.

I live in Vancouver's Commercial Drive neighbourhood, which is one of our most eclectic, and I took some photos today of the local part of my daily commute. I did this photo tour late morning at around 11am.


A few steps into my commute takes me from my apartment to Commercial Drive. I'm close enough to be seconds away from the shops, bank, grocery store, etc., but far enough away that there is no road noise.

The City installed a couple of dozen new bike racks this past week along my part of Commercial Drive. They are the single "hitching post" type bike racks that can handle a couple of bikes without taking up too much sidewalk space, which is appreciated for parts of the city with narrow sidewalks like much of Commercial Drive. The ones in front of Prado are usually claimed by fixies and vintage road bikes, sure signs that hipsters lurk within.

This is a classic Commercial Drive shot of a coffee shop, market, parked bicycle with a child seat, old shabby apartment buildings, and a SkyTrain crossing Commercial Drive on its way to downtown. The train in the photo is one of our new Bombardier Mk2.5 SkyTrain cars, part of the 30% fleet expansion we took delivery of for the Olympics.

By contrast here is a train composed of original Bombardier Mk1 cars. The two trains were about 90 seconds apart, which is normal for SkyTrain during much of the day.

Commercial Drive is also pretty much ground zero for wannabe-anarchist lefties. These next two posters were plastered all along The Drive earlier in the day. They will probably be torn down or covered up in a day or two. The basic thrust of 99% of the posters is that business is bad, the government is bad, war is bad, marches are good, the police are always bad, criminals are always innocent unless they are middle- to upper-income white men, nobody should not do anything anywhere since everything everywhere was once First Nations' land, and lastly the government with the support of businesses and most white people are fighting a war against immigrants, people of colour, First Nations and especially women. Plus the Olympics is the worst thing to happen to anybody anywhere, ever, times a million!

I am arriving at the Commercial-Broadway Station precinct. The overhead line leads to downtown, which is about 5 minutes down the line from the station. The station is also the terminus of the 99 B-Line, which I believe is North America's most successful bus route with about 80,000 daily passengers. This route is slated to be replaced by rapid transit, hopefully an extension of SkyTrain, near the end of the decade.

One of our new electric trolleys. The bus route along Commercial Drive uses articulated trolleys exclusively and is usually packed in both directions during most hours of the day.

Looking west from Commercial-Broadway station one gets a great view of a growing piece of downtown Vancouver.

This aerial walkway leads to the lower platforms, 1 and 2, of the Millennium Line. The escalators to the right take passengers up to platforms 3 and 4 on the Expo and Millennium Lines. (The Millennium Line does a giant loop and passes through the same station twice.)

Another aerial walkway, this time traversing Broadway. It is far too narrow and there is a short- to medium-term plan to replace it with a new one that will utilize all of the the available width between the tracks.

My train today is a new Mk2.5, which are fairly common now. They have a slightly larger passenger capacity due to a rejigged seating configuration and other passenger information and safety improvements like LED system maps and security cameras.

The LED system map. It indicates the terminus with a red light and the stops along the way in white and these go out as one passes through each station.

Well it was a busy train so I put my camera away at that point. That's my walk from home to the SkyTrain. It takes about 5 to 7 minutes and then the train is just shy of 10 minutes since I go to the last stop. Altogether my commute is about 25 minutes in length.

Thanks!

Thanks for the Vancouver transit tour SFU. I hope a skytrain extension manages to reach UBC in a relatively timely manner. UBC's location makes for a nice natural setting, but it certainly wasn't a practical decision being surrounded by water and forests.

An excellent example of the type of density in our national capital. Ottawa may not have any towering buildings but their urban canyons can sure be impressive.

Oh they're still around but I try and avoid pointing a camera at them so I wait for a less busy moment. The Downtown Eastside closer to downtown (ie: near Woodward's) seems to be a little better these days but it's still unmistakably the DTES.

I'm really looking forward to the next River Trail expansion. While it would have been nice to skate all the way to Assiniboine Park like last year, it'll be neat to be able to skate in three different directions from The Forks this time around.
