TransLink testing shows tire socks not as durable as anticipated


How about equipping a small fleet of buses (4-6) with snow tires that when you know snow is coming, they do the SFU route so people don't get stuck up there.

Then last year (remember?) ... one or two of the lines got snow on the rails and had to be shut down. Didn't people have to get out and walk to next station? At Canada line, they had to use buses to get passengers from Bridgeport to Marine.
Or they could have snow trucks on stand by when there is a snow warning ready to plow the snow and salt the roads up SFU?
