SkyTrain afternoon commute gets delayed due to medical emergency
WATCH: An apparent medical emergency at the Burrard Street SkyTrain station triggered major delays on the Expo and Millennium Lines on Tuesday afternoon. Chris Gailus and Sophie Lui report – Feb 3, 2016

A medical emergency at the Burrard Street SkyTrain station led to a slowdown on the Expo and Millennium lines during Tuesday’s rush hour.

Trains ran, but only on a single track, and less frequently than usual. Westbound trains stopped at Stadium station.

TransLink established a bus bridge and shuttle train on a single line between the Waterfront and Stadium stations. Despite their efforts, commuters had to deal with long lineups and crowded trains.
