Vancouver's transit system was created so that people would have a cheap, easy and relatively cheap source of transportation around the city.
But what if it was used as a guide for walking around? A group decided to do just that on the shortest day of the year last year, and the video of their adventure was just uploaded.
Luckily, as it is Vancouver, Dec. 21 was a rainy day, not a freezing cold one, and the group is able to walk the entire route relatively easily, stopping at every station along the way.
It helps, they note, that the Canada Line is the shortest of Vancouver's SkyTrain routes. Another bonus is the fact the Canada Line bridge has a pedestrian walkway/bikeway attached to the side of it like a racing stripe. It doesn't make the bridge faster, but it does make it easy to get over the Fraser River.
In all, it took them just over eight hours, during which they covered just about 32 km (walking about 4 km an hour). No one was lost on the journey.
This is the second Metro Vancouver transit route the group has walked, in the summer they walked the entirety of the Expo Line from King George Station in Surrey to Waterfront in downtown Vancouver.
