In the past Translink has always run the Expo and Centennial Lines early on marathon morning. I'm not sure what changed. And BMO Marathon made a point to have transit tickets included in the registration-- I assume that cost them. Very annoying. (The North Shore was another issue, but they never had that service early.)

The extra couple hours of service presumably can be had at some cost which apparently is too steep for the race organizers this year (though I can't see how it would be markedly higher than thousands of free transit tickets.) Add this to my earlier list of reasons why this race can't quite get to the next level.

Anyone want to take bets that they will run out of one or the other too early??

I'll be back next year or the year after and look forward to it.
