If the carbon tax actually went into properly building up the BC infrastructure, then it might have been worth it. However, the farce of Vancouver and BC in general, is still such a lagging mess. Greater Vancouver is facing transit cuts & most of the bridges in the region are still in need of parallel bus & bike bridges.

The first 2 SkyTrain lines only have 80m stations when the Montreal Metro has almost 153m stations. The line between Vancouver, YVR & Richmond only has a clearance for 50m stations. Longer stations like in Montreal & Toronto, can move a lot more people. Unfortunatly, BC keeps taking the congestive planning option.
