It will certainly make getting from YVR to downtown much easier! Opening ahead of schedule and (I believe) on budget, someone let Hogtown know

For those interested, there's a good blog with lots of photos here:

That's great news; I'll be able to take it for my flights in August!

Another Canada Line benefit: the first train arrives at the airport at 5:10am, versus the current first bus at 5:57am (with the last nightbus at 3:39am). Makes it more feasible to take transit to early morning flights (6am flights might be cutting it too tight, though).
