TransLink to run temporary Downtown Vancouver circular bus route during FIFA World Cup

Makes sense since the city never planned for a downtown train loop like Chicago, Toronto and other proper cities did generations ago.

There should be a permanent downtown bus loop or circle. It could run along Robson to Burrard, then along Davie to Denman and then back to Robson. Every 3-5 minutes during the day and every 5-10 minutes at night. Unfortunately, that would go against the backwards planning mentality of provincial Vancouver.
