Dear Editor:
Re: Squamish to Vancouver Public Transit Studied, Sept. 4 news story.
I read with great interest the article regarding a transit study on the Sea to Sky corridor.
As the Squamish highway is becoming more and more congested every year, I hope that the study considers passenger rail service between Whistler and North Vancouver, also North Vancouver and Prince George for that matter. Why is there no commuter rail service between downtown Squamish and the SeaBus at Lonsdale Quay today, similar to the West Coast Express?
What a dream it would be to take a special ski train from North Van all the way to the back door of a hotel at Whistler Village. As there is only one freight train a day on the former BC Railway tracks, between North Vancouver and Prince George, there is certainly room for passenger rail service.
