Even before SkyTrain existed, one can recall youths on a Surrey bus talking about Vancouver. In a frightened tone, "They kill in that place". That was the age of the Whalley Bus Exchange in North Surrey where residents had to stand in mud for a decade and no place to sit waiting for a bus transfer coming home from Vancouver. And before AirCare, youths in dilapidated cars (police pulled traffic over for a roadside check into the recreation parking lot next to the bus exchange one summer evening and had to impound 20%, they didn't just fail they were that bad) would cruse the bus exchange. A decade ago when computers got to be popular there was topic after topic in local forum "Discover Vancouver" full of "Surrey" jokes. Vancouver merchants that advertised serving the GVRD, the Greater Vancouver District (even though the Surrey mayor was chairman of the GVRD at that time) wouldn't include Surrey. Surrey blamed SkyTrain for bringing homeless from Vancouver out to Surrey.<br /><br />Some things never seem to change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
