Letter: SkyTrains have gotten louder in my Burnaby neighbourhood

This letter writer believes TransLink should slow down train speeds, much like the authority did for its Vancouver routes.

SkyTrain arrives at a station in Burnaby.

The Editor:

About Skytrain noise....

Another year, same noise? No, louder!

I live in the region between the Edmonds and Royal Oak SkyTrain stations. The noise from the trains become unbearable!

If TransLink can’t work on the trains or the tracks, I suggest reducing the speed like they did between Main Street and Stadium-Chinatown in Vancouver.

TransLink is quite good to increase the fare cost, but not so good to maintain their system at acceptable noise levels.
