Remember the big snow storm on a Wednesday that numerous people walked down the mountain? The day after that, ther was no snow, just what was remaining on the street, and the 97B was delayed, the Skytrain has difficulty with ice and the Westcoast Express has signal problem, all due to this phantom "cold weather problem". So 35 min delay on a community bus isn't all too bad. I was on Commerical station on that Thursday, I rediverted back to downtown, get on the WCE, only to find out that I should've got on one of those community shuttles that takes forever to go to Lougheed Mall because I was standing in the cold, waiting for a 97B to come. And the route that 97B has to get through before getting to where I was at (St. Johns and Williams) doesn't really involve any steep hills! Mind you, Vancouverites cannot handle weather.
