99 Express (Eastbound)
- weather - cool but sunny, 14C-ish
- had to read ticket machine for cost of trip while people waited behind me to board
- paid $3.75 cash, had to wait for operator to press a button to get a ticket - unexpected
- at Main St., passengers at the back yelled "OPEN THE DOOR". bus was in traffic and close to the stop but the driver can't open the doors until after the bus is parallel with the sidewalk (confirmed this safety aspect)
- talked with lady in front of bus, seated in older people seating - she enjoys Translink, especially the Skytrain
- expected to take to Lougheed but only goes to Broadway Station now - confusing since you can take a 99 Bee line from Lougheed to UBC. unexpected asymmetry.
-temperature comfortable, clean but packed
- no route map noticed
- driver is calm even with busy bus
