A recent poll commissioned by the University of British Columbia (UBC) reveals 76% support for extending the SkyTrain to the campus, which currently relies heavily on bus transportation. Micheal White, UBC's associate vice-president of campus and community planning, highlighted that the existing Arbutus station will be over capacity from day one. The extension is seen as a crucial solution to transportation issues, with more than 1,000 buses operating daily to UBC. The poll, conducted by Research Co., included 1,931 respondents from Metro Vancouver and has a margin of error of ±2.3%. Transit Minister Mike Farnworth expressed the government's commitment to exploring the extension further, noting its potential economic benefits for the region. However, concerns remain about possible construction disruptions similar to those caused by the ongoing Broadway Subway project.
