It could be... how about this... float-plane harbour to harbour, Skytrain one stop from Waterfront to Burrard, bus to Tsawassen, ferry, and then the bus back into Vic and there you go! The whole thing shouldn't take more than 4 hours or so... yeah...
According to the translink site the 160 and C28 gets me there either 25 minutes early or 5 minutes late in the morning. The train + 97B only takes 5 minutes longer and gets me there five minutes early. Same problem getting home: either I have to cut out 10 minutes early or stand at the bus stop for 20 minutes.
Basically, the 160 is a little bit faster, but because it only runs every half hour and the 97B connects City Hall to the Skytrain every ten minutes the B-Line/Skytrain option works out better when wait time is factored in.
Yeah, if today was representative, the both legs on the train are pretty empty on the way out, but the 97B fills up briefly with high-school kids (but after I have my seat since I'm getting on at the first stop). On the way back the bus and trains are fuller, but I still didn't have a problem getting a seat on all three legs.
I wasn't completely lost. I even made some small updates to the website today. Overwhelmed, though. I have a "to-do" list three metres long and I'm going to have to spend a couple days reading just to figure out what needs to be done first.
