Question about commuting in Vancouver?

Question

-How is the security and safety of Skytrain? how do you inform the security guard if you are on your way? and how they will help you?

-Is it safe for students to commute by Skytrain from Surrey to Vancouver at around 8:30 to 9:10 or 10 pm? and how much crowded is Skytrain in those hours?

Answer 1

There is security, actually a new budget was released and new security gueard were hired. There is an emregency button on all skytrains and you can press that if you feel you  threatened.. This will have security waiting for you at the next stop... There have been beatings/stabbings at the skytrain so I personally dont feel safe on the train.. and with the xtra security I still dont feel safe... I would advise against it..

Answer 2

I wouldn't recommend riding the Skytrain that late at night.

Answer 3

in the evening the skytrain is not crowded at all- only during the morning rush and after-work commutes. also, the last few trains of the night (usually at 1am, depending on the day) are very crowded especially on the weekends!

I ride the train downtown from new westminster to and from work every day. i'm a 21-year old girl who works in fashion, and i never have had any problem. my friends and i ride the train to go partying downtown on evenings and weekends as well, and it has always been very safe- in my 2 years of doing this i have never seen any violence or had any creeps talk to me!!

some girls i know carry a can of pepper spray to make them feel more safe- but honestly, i dont see the need, i have never been close to experiencing anything remotely dangerous or harmful. just keep to yourself and mind your own business and no one will pay attention to you.
