On the topic of commuting downtown, my wife had her office moved from Burnaby to downtown. We live on the Cloverdale/Langley border and were dreading the fact that her office was moving. It's been a month and surprisingly it hasn't been that bad for her. She drives up to the park and ride near the Hwy, grabs a bus to New West and skytrains from there. Her total commute is between 65 to 70 minutes door to door. Her commute to Burnaby was 45-60 minutes depending on traffic.
She doesn't like the fact that she has to go to Vancouver but it wasn't nearly as bad as either of us thought it would be. She has to buy a transit pass where she didn't before but she pays less for parking at the park and ride then she did at her Burnaby office and she's saving on fuel and wear/tear of her vehicle.
She's still going to look for a job east of the Fraser but for now it's bearable.
