The Skytrain is down in Vancouver and it is causing major headaches and whining on social media as the city is at a virtual standstill.

Skytrain services has been halted on both the Expo and Millennium lines because of a technical issue, this the second time in a week. People are now walking along the Translink lines to get to their destinations and tempers are flaring.
Bus 19 Metrotown is completely full. Don't even bother #translink #skytraindown #skytraindown #skytrain

Their servers also seem to be overwhelmed with traffic as people look to re-route their trips. Bus service is the next available choice for those using public transportation, and buses are filling up fast.

From angry, to sarcastic, to frustrated, people have taken to Twitter to express themselves. And it only took a short while for “Translink” and “Skytrain” to trend across Canada.
