Fire up Google Maps set your start and end points, then ask for a Public Transit route. All the stops, all the times in one place, it even includes walk times to stops and the SkyTrain! It's a million miles better than the translink site, and seeing as I requested translink provide their data to Google 8 months ago I'm taking the credit for it! I'd like them to add cycle routes in too, but you can't have everything. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=habanero+consulting+group&daddr=burnaby&dirflg=r&sll=49.26662,-123.04841&sspn=0.074715,0.188141&ie=UTF8&z=12&om=0&start=0 While we’re on the subject of Google, you simply have to tell anyone who takes transit about Google Transit directions.
