TransLink is alerting passengers of numerous delays due to road conditions in Metro 麻豆传媒映画on Friday morning.
The transit authority advises commuters to dress for the snowy and听icy weather and听wear proper footwear. In addition, passengers should听expect some service disruptions throughout the day. On some routes, TransLink will use shorter buses, and there may be extra crowding as a result.听
"We continue to salt and sand bus loops and SkyTrain stations, but please use caution in these areas and remember to dress warmly in anticipation of potential delays," cautions TransLink on its website.听
Due to the inclement weather, the transit authority has听reduced Millennium Line service to听four听car trains for the morning rush hour.听This听allowed for听increased capacity but听reduced frequency.
Currently, there are 107听bus alerts listed on TransLink鈥檚 advisory alerts鈥� page. However, not all of these alerts are due to poor road conditions. A few of them are informational, explaining service changes or new stops, while others are due to construction.
With this in mind, a number of the alerts are due to snowy and icy听weather. While a number of routes have cleared this morning, the transportation authority has tweeted a number of particularly long delays.听

Environment Canada is also calling for the chance of snowfall every day over the next seven days.
More snow is possible this weekend as a series of weather systems embedded in a cool northwest flow from the Gulf of Alaska moves ashore. What's more, early next week, cold arctic air from the B.C. Interior will arrive on the South Coast.听
