Now there's a surprise - or is it?
Vancouver's transit system has been carrying record numbers of passengers during the Winter Olympics - way in excess of forecasts.
A recent article in the "Globe and Mail" notes that, on the first Sunday, over 1.5m people used the system (light rail, bus and seabus). Forecasts before the Games were that daily ridership would increase by just 20%, from 700,000 to 960,000.
A Vancouver official is quoted as saying, "If we provide a high quality service, people will use it."
If you want to read the article, have a look at the article on the Canada Press website.
