It's for your own good, Vancouver is fighting the good fight by making everyone who visits' life miserable while they travel the place. You should have taken the bus.

Joking of course... although Burnaby is very well served by the Skytrain to be fair. But as others have said, for Vancouver's no road strategy to work it needs a much more extensive rail network, when what it has is barely adequate for a 2.5m city, and only looks OK compared to US cities.
