Soozy, I use the bus all the time. Feel free to email/msn me with any questions you have. I know landmarks for many places, so I can give you detailed directions in some cases. I would suggest getting a detailed road map of Vancouver when you get here.

If you're standing at the stop the bus will stop. It just has to be more or less obvious that you are in fact standing at the bus stop and not just randomly on the street, so stand near the pole with the bus stop sign on it or sit on the bench (there may or may not be one depending on the stop).

For getting off: either you step down onto the first of two steps to get the door to open or you press firmly on the door handles. There will be signs.

The trip planning feature on translink's site can be useful. It doesn't always show the best way, but it will get you to where you need to be.

ooh yeah, i remember the wierd doors that don't open until you start walking down the steps - which confuses me as I generally start down teh steps once the door has opened.

:D
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

oh, and most bus drivers are good, and if you ask them nicely to tell you where to get off, they will. that's the canadian way. :nod:

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Oooh that looks fun. And since it looks like it's never going to stop raining in Vancouver it'll be good to have something to do inside.
