Did anyone see the huge crowd waiting for the 145 at school today? I would hate to be in that...I've heard of 2 sail waits for ferries, but not for campus buses :S

    They took out the bus loop to build an office building, now people have to wait by the side of the street, that's why the line up is so damn long.

    yep.. I watched some friends get on a packed 135, then get kicked back off by the bus driver because the bus was full.

    I heard that you can take your chances and try the 144 to SFU @ Sperling Stn. a few stops near Production Stn. Anyone do that? If so, is it also packed? Could be risky too cause it's less frequent...

    Dunno. I know the UBC bus was really packed today, as was the westbound 135 going to downtown. :omg:

    Burrard Station 98 B-Line, UBC 99 B-Line are always packed. It's not like 135 & 145 are the only B-Line buses running. I thought the lineup for the 145 is normal from the bus stop to the outside stairs of Production Way station. It's surprising how two extended buses can clear the a major portion of the lineup.
