Controversies

Opponents have claimed that the approval process was undemocratic and dishonest. They say that the projected ridership figures were grossly inflated; if actual ridership levels are less than projection, taxpayers and transit passengers may have to cover the shortfall in revenue. Opponents also claim that the official claim the project had nothing to do with Vancouver's bid to host the 2010 Winter Olympics was not credible.
