Toronto Vancouver had a population of 8 million and it was very warm, about 32o C. The streets were quite busy underground but the traffic was moving nicely above ground. We were going to my grandparent's apartment right in the heart of downtown Vancouver. It took us about 5 minutes to get there going on the new auto-drive tunnel under Vancouver. Once we reached their building we parked our rental car in the parking garage and brought our bags to the express elevator. We pushed for floor 112 and in about 2 minutes we were there. theregional | |||||||||||||||||||||||
