Peter over at the Cavalier (click) ^[1] has this story. In short, the province is funding an expansion of the sky train to UBC by the year 2020 as part of a 14 biollion dollar transit bonanza announced for the province today.

From the press release:

UBC welcomes the provincial government announcement today of a $14 billion province-wide transit investment to include $2.8 billion for the UBC Line in addition to increased bus service

Some transport-related questions:

• How will the transit station work with the current underground busloop plans? Where will the station be?
• Given the differing timelines, will buses be enough until 2020?
• How long will our campus be one massive construction site?
• Will U-pass fees or transit fares be driven up to fund this project?
• Where will bus services be reduced when the line is in?
• Are there safety issues with more public stations?
• Is the rhetoric of sustainability meaninful? How is the line being engineered and built?
