was about to go up SFU for school. Checked the weather before hand for burnaby, said less than 1 cm of snow, but didn't mention anything about higher elevations so i decided not to go to school. Now i'm receiving snapchats of everyone trying to get off the mountain at the upper bus loop

Got to Olympic Village platform around 2:15pm. Looks like most of DT left work early. Platform and trains were crowded but everything was on schedule.

One peculiar thing was the trains weren't staying on each platform for very long. About half their usual time. This caused a lot of idiocy with people forcing the doors open.

Cue Rene!

Rene is an off-the-job green jacket who just happened to be on our train. He got tired of seeing people force the doors open and yelled at them to 'Stop or the train doesn't move!'

Needless to say, the idiots listened.

However, the damage was done to a particular set of doors. They would not close firmly shut and therefore, the train would not move. Rene was standing far back and asked people to slide the doors closed.

They were useless.

Rene forced his way through the crowd of phone zombies and shut the doors himself. With authority.

He then took his keys, opened the panel door and permanently shut the doors. He then went to the storage box that is near the centre section of the cars, grabs a sign and sticks to the door. He also reiterated to everyone to not use these doors. He also had to tap on the glass to tell people on each platform not to touch the doors from the outside. He also communicated with command central of his actions.

Rene was done his day and just happened to be heading home. Had he not been in that train at that time. There were would have been a massive delay because no one would have known why the train wasn't moving but it was due to typical fuckstains abusing the doors and causing a malfunction.

Thank Dog for Rene. A real MVP. Worth writing to Translink about.

Yup, people are pretty much clueless, but Translink has to take the initiative and let idiots know why the trains stop operating and what causes delays. My sister-in-law, who rides ST on a daily basis said that that is what caused the huge delay (more like a complete shutdown) last time. Some bonehead forced the door open and broke it, so it wouldn't close.

Fuck, some people are stupid.
