Translink’s Trip Planning feature can be very entertaining.

Say, you wanted to go from Fraser Street and 33^rd Avenue to Fraser Street and 49^th Avenue, so a whole whopping 16 blocks South. It’s real easy, probably takes about 20 minutes to walk. Fortunately for Translink, the obvious option is first one they provide.

The simple way (4 min. travel time): the take #8 bus South.

The second option (40 min. travel time): take the #8 North/West, the #3 South and the #49 East.

And to top it all off, there’s a third (57 min. travel time): take the #8 North/West, the SkyTrain South/East and #49 West.

I’m just glad they are stopping after three options. Otherwise they’d suggest going via White Rock next. LOL
