| metrotown - whats happening?
Anyone know what's going on there?
All I heard was,
There's a police incident at the Metrotown bus loop. Central Blvd is shutdown both ways, no busses in or out of the bus loop, and SkyTrain is not stopping at Metrotown.

BURNABY (NEWS1130) - A police incident has shut down all transit service to Metrotown station. Drew Snider with TransLink says SkyTrain is passing through Metrotown station, "Skytrain is running through Metrotown station without stopping. So they are going to Patterson, they are going to Royal Oak and then keeping right on through. A bus bridge is being set up between Royal Oak and Patterson."
Snider adds buses are also being affected, "We have buses that are going to Patterson and no further. The trolley buses, the number 19 are only going to Joyce and turning around and then shuttles are taking the rest of the way to Patterson."
Keep it on News1130 for the latest on this developing story.
