Don't think going to Chilliwack and bypassing Abbotsford would make too much sense at this point.
Definitely. I personally think we need commuter rail paralleling the Expo Line going into the Valley, but this bus is a good first step. I'd much rather see a separate line than an extension of the West Coast Express, as much of the Fraser Valley's workforce commutes to Surrey and Langley for work. It would also help relieve the Expo Line.
