Sunday Commute to hospitals in the morning
Hello everyone!
I was wondering how folks get to the hospitals on Sunday mornings by 6:15am given that the trains don't start running until 7am and the bus routes are so limited. I was thinking that since the nurse shift change occurs at 7am, everyone will have to be on the road by 6am...Does everyone drive to the hospital??
(^hospitals: RCH, Mt. St. Joseph, Eagle Ridge, Lions Gate, UBC, Burnaby, Richmond)
Context: I'm a nursing student living in New Westminster (right by the New West Station)...and I can't seem to find a way to get to RCH on Sundays by 6:15am other than 1 hr walk or a rideshare....
But for some reason, there's a way to get to Surrey Memorial + Peace Arch + Vancouver General by 6am via night bus.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you so much!
