Letters: We already have rapid transit from Richmond to Surrey

A Richmond News reader is confused by a fellow reader’s insistence that Richmond needs a skytrain direct to Surrey

Canada Line runs from Richmond to Vancouver.

Dear Editor,

Re: “We need a skytrain from Richmond to Surrey,” Opinion, Richmond-News.com, Oct. 4.

There is already a way to get from Richmond to Surrey - by rapid transit.

I am not sure what he’s going on about…all you have to do is take the Canada Line downtown and hop on the Expo line to Surrey Central.

Why would you want to waste money building a line when you already have a connection there?

That doesn’t make any sense at all - you’re better off putting the funds towards skytrain out towards UBC and many other places, like the tunnel to White Rock.

There are many other places you could use a skytrain that’s not from here in Richmond to Surrey.

It doesn’t make any sense when it’s already there.
