Thanks!
Picard ? Where is he lately? Warp factor 9 !
You bet! And thanks so much for the super support!
hah Engage!
A awesome video touring on the Skytrain. You gained a subscriber and a fellow from Guelph no less.
It was a very scenic trip all the way to downtown.
Glad you enjoyed it, Allan! I know, what are the chances, right? hahah
I was looking forward to this video actually. I'm visiting YVR next year. I'm surprised is taking so long to get to downtown. I will be going to Georgia Street as well so I'm looking at least for a 40 mnts ride. Also the subway cars are so short. What a coincidence though I can see the hotel that I am going to stay in your video. I'm taking your video with me as a guide. Thank you Ken!!!
Glad to be able to show you a glimpse into your future. haha
@@TheKenContinuum Loool Thx Ken!
18:03 I knew this video would be some blocked view with some dirty window-unlike the clear Toronto Street cars
haha I've come across many dirty TTC windows, too.
No dirty slush to deal with in Vancouver though.
Excellent Presentation 🌹 I was in Vancouver during the summer of 2023. Hearty Greetings from Hyderabad, India 🇮🇳
Thank you so much!
There was some evidence of some silly dingiiii behind you guys on the skytrain, but at least they weren't too obnoxious.
"But you take the skyway
It don't move at all like a subway
It's got bums when it's cold like any other place
It's warm up inside
Sittin' down and waitin' for a ride
Beneath the skyway" The Replacements
Great band!
@@TheKenContinuum "Skywayyyy" I recently availed of the complete "Mats Studio Albums box set, all essential of course. "Skyway" is a great song and I love songs with "easy" chords anyway, haha! Now if they would release a complete Husker Du box set I would rest easy.
Hi Ken! Terrific video. I am a bit surprised to see how quiet the airport was when you and Meghan landed mid-afternoon on a Friday! Wow! Yes there are multiple zones on the transit system and it adds up crossing into different zones. Still $9 bucks isn't too bad from the airport all the way to Vancouver's Downtown area. It seems fairly reasonable compared to taking a cab or an Uber! I thought your sis might pick you two up and give you both a lift! It's nice this way as you and Meghan got to see some the areas you were travelling through this way! Cool! The Ottawa light rapid transit sure has got trashed. I heard you and Meghan talking about it. I was there when the system started and it was really exciting and I have enjoyed all the rides I have taken in Ottawa but I think the system had had tons of breakdowns. I hope they can fix whatever issues the system has! Ottawa is a lovely city! I like the stops on this run into Vancouver. It really covers a wide range of areas in the city to connect with transit and get out to the airport or to come back in on when having been away! Thanks so much for filming and showing us all what the trip into the city is like from the airport! I really enjoyed hearing about the DJI Osmo earlier in the video! It sounds like it was a good convo with some nice people also heading into Vancouver! I like having good convos! It's nice when people are friendly! Awesome video! It was really enjoyable to watch! Cheers Ken!! 🙂
Hi Christine! I hope you are doing well! Have a good night and stay safe!! Cheers!
@@sepandttcexplorer Thanks so much Sepand. I appreciate your kind message a lot!!
Yeah, I didn't mind the quietness of the airport when we arrived. haha My sis already had company at her house for the first couple of days of our visit to the city, so we got a room in the hotel, which worked for me because it allowed me to record this video and a bunch of other downtown videos! I have yet to visit Ottawa since they opened their new rapid transit line! Thanks, Christine. Cheers!
@@TheKenContinuum Hi Ken!! I think you and Meghan would really getting back for a visit to Ottawa and the LRT system is absolutely worth checking out. I liked it although I definitely acknowledge the need for repairs and importantly, a better understanding of what went wrong to cause so many breakdowns and disruptions. I realize it was extremely frustrating to citizens using the transit system. I hope it is working better now. I hope to get to Ottawa soon. I am thrilled that you got to make this video coming into Vancouver! I hope you got to see your sis for plenty of time on your visit. I know it went fast! Happily she makes it back to TO so you see her there too! Cheers! 🙂
I met person in food line up .lived in Edmonton 4 years...and how was minus 30 so often... I told him about you filming there in Edmonton a few days 😀
Good evening Ken! Hope you’re doing well. Amazing video! Vancouver airport looks very cool 😎. I also enjoyed the skytrain ride from Vancouver airport to downtown Vancouver! Have a good night! Cheers!
Thanks, Sepand!
I've lived in Vancouver since 1970. In that time, I've walked pretty well every square inch of Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster.
There’s an NFL game on right now. Billions of dollars to produce that. But I’m watching Ken instead. It’s incredible the way Ken challenges huge corporate media products for viewers. Tonight’s score for my viewing: Ken 1, NFL 0.
haha Awesome! Can't get any better support than that. Cheers!
It was interesting to see you and Meghan departing the train at City Center and proceeding out of the station to Georgia and Granville Sts. I've done it so many times. I'm glad you had a decent visit to Vancouver.
Last time I was in Vancouver I took the Skytrain Expo Line from downtown to Burnaby where I was staying. The line was mostly elevated which was cool passing through different neighbourhoods. I heard they use the same technology as the Scarborough RT…strange that the TTC considers the RT obsolete and must be demolished but in Vancouver it works well and is expanding. Makes no sense.
Yes the Vancouver Expo and Millenium Lines use the same basic technology as the SRT but in Scarborough there are corners that are too tight for the newer rolling stock so they've been stuck with the old outdated stock and can't replace it. I'm sure compared to extending the subway it would be less expensive to soften the SRT corners but people also don't like the awkward transfer at Kennedy.
Unfortunately I never got to ride any of the other skytrain lines on this trip.
If my memory serves me correctly I believe the skytrain in Vancouver uses the same cars as the Scarborough RT back in Toronto. I read that somewhere.
It does, well at least the ICTS Mark I cars
Thanks Ken and Meghan for another wonderful video of Vancouver and Yes the SkyTrain experience is something that you will never forget about.
Our pleasure!
Hi Ken, Awesome live skyway train ride in Vancouver. I enjoyed it can't wait to see more tomorrow. I never rode the Vancouver sky train ride. How was your weekend last week? My weekend was great last week. Have a good night see you next video 😀❤️
Thanks, Michelle! I hope you get to visit Vancouver and ride it one day. My weekend was good!
Really, really awesome and amazing. I love the way you bring us to where you are! Thank you!
I've been wanting to ride the Canada Line from city center to the airport just to check it out. Haven't done it yet. The Canada Line was built for the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010.
Now you know what to expect. hah
I love IGA grocery stores. They are very hard to come by here in the United States. Most of them have been closed. Thank you for the video. Ken and Megan was very good to see a different city. In Canada have a great Christmas to the both of you if I do not talk to you before then hopefully I will talk to you soon. Thank you.
Thanks Paula, and same to you!
Hi, Ken & Meghan, great not so much a going to but coming from Skytrain video. I'd say the airport elevators could do with an update, more speed and space taking into account people's luggage. The Osmo Pocket has some pulling power in attracting and mesmerising the curious, it is brilliant tho. Nice people on the train and yep, a small world with the Guelph connection surprising for Meghan. Downtown Vancouver looks good and interesting mountain glimpses between the buildings. All bigger cities seem to have their landmark hotels. Manchester's UK one probably being "The Midland Hotel". Best Wishes to both of you. C.J.H.
Thanks, Christopher. haha I had the same thought about those airport elevators.
Its insane that this city is 10 times smaller than New York City, but appears similarly dense.
It's the 4th densest city in N. America, and only going to get denser in the inner city. Outside of there it's largely detached housing and lowrise apartments.
Ken, I remember the Sutton Place Hotel at the north East corner of Bay and Wellesley very well. That's when I lived above a Greek restaurant at the south east corner in the early 70's.
It really stood out on that part of Bay street back then.
Hi Ken and Meghan, thanks for taking us on your trip.
Hello Lina, you're welcome!
I notice at the beginning everyone is forced to walk at the same slow speed as the slowest person. This being the last with the stroller who could have walked to the immediate right to let folks pass instead if staying in the very middle, blocking everyone in behind her. Great video though, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the ride!
Hey Mr. Ken Continuum and to your fair loyal lady Meghan.....im always soo happy to watch both of you in livestream vids you all make them worth watching! also hoped all is going quite invigorating and I bet you maybe kinda in holiday festive spirit..for sure you and Mr.Strides will have an amazing can't get enuff of holiday cheer this year lol. this was truly an amazing skytrain ride in Vancouver from airport to main city centre...awesome sexy trains although quite small. soo nice you met somebody from Guelph on the ride"small world". I never been to vancity but the downtown is more scenic with mountains surrounding all over...thanks and happy holidays
Thanks Franklyn, glad you enjoyed the ride on the sexy train. haha
Love this awesome video. Especially the nice people riding to downtown Vancouver with you. It feels good meeting friendly people. Thx Ken and Meghan for a wonderful ride. Stay safe you two.

It was great to see Vancouver again. You stayed close to where I stayed when I was in Vancouver. I stayed at the Westin Bayshore close to Stanley Park. I look forward to watching more Van vids!!
Very cool. Hope you enjoy the rest of them!
What phone or camera were y’all talking about on the train?
DJI Osmo Pocket
I thought so…..I’ve been looking at it and planning to buy.
Thanks Ken , great video 🙂
You're very welcome!
Very nice video Ken
Thanks!
Be careful speaking to random people on the subway
Do you live in the States?
Great video! Nice sunny day for Vancouver in November 😀
I loves that "JUgo Juice" whatever that is!
We don't have any IGA near me on LI but I was out way east two months ago and on the North Fork, and the Hamptons do have some IGA supermarkets, for some reason, in these tiny little towns. There's also one up near me in Bayville L.I. for some bizarre reason. Why IGA is in these far flung areas I dunno.
I haven't seen nay IGAs in Toronto but I suppose there might be some around the city somewhere. I'll have to google it to find out.
@@TheKenContinuum Hrm interesting. Their logo is so generic, it reminds me of the 80s "generic" food packaging. "Album" "Cereal" etc. Bizarre. I spotted one near me in Bayville and I was like "how did this get here?" I thought they were an New England thing, or upstate NY. Then I did see one out in Greenport or Southold LI two months ago.
@@TheKenContinuum Says there aren't any in Toronto, but a few near Brockport NY and Rochester. And a few in PA and OH.
All the Toronto IGAs turned into Foodland
