How effective is SkyTrain as a transit system? (neighborhoods, live in)

[Relegate]

Just curious, do most people who live in Vancouver think SkyTrain is an effective system? Is it good for getting around within the city or is it more of a commuter rail?

Does it go to most neighborhoods people want to be in? Is it reliable and fast? Do a lot of people use it?

No it is terrible and over priced and cost wise a on the ground trolly system would of been cheaper and easier to expand with B.C.'s massive growth and urban sprawl.

It is like a Underground Subway System in terms of cost to build and same high expense too maintain the elevated track and has pretty much all the cost issues of building a underground subway system would have also.

Depends where you wanna go. If you live in certain neighborhoods, like say Metrotown, it's great for commuting to downtown, though it is expensive.

Is this a serious response to this question?
