When I first saw "99 Comm'l-Bdway Stn" I thought it was making local service the whole way because there was no "B-Line" after it. They only use "Joyce Stn" instead of "Joyce-Collingwood" on the 26, 27, 28, 41 and 43 signs, so what's wrong with using only "Commercial" for the 9 and 99? It would still distinguish it from the Canada Line station, and it would be less confusing. As for the 9 and 99, I don't see why they can't use "9 Commercial Stn" and "99 Commercial Stn / B-Line". Once (if ever) the 17 runs over the Cambie Bridge again, I think we may just see "17 UBC" and "17 Oak" on the signs. I think the "via Downtown" on the 17 is for the fact that both the Oak and UBC buses travel the same direction through the downtown.
I guess I'll put my 2 cents on this issue too. though it doesn't explain why the other signs don't display the same, because we don't see things like "4 Powell via Downtown"Īs for being a member of the Yahoo group, I've been trying to find it but I haven't until now. So basically it shows that it's still going downtown while headed to UBC.
I think the reason why the 17 is the only route that says "via Downtown" is because some trips short-turn Downtown instead of continuing to UBC, but don't hold me to that.

While it would look better to have the full name in the destination, it would take a while for the full sign to run through eg 9 Broadway - Commercial - Station or 99 Bline - Broadway - Commercial - Station - Express.

As for the "Comm'l/Bdway Stn" sign, they had to change it to that otherwise people would probably always ask the drivers if they were going to the SkyTrain or the Canada Line as they are both Broadway stations. I never understood why the 17 is the only route that has a "via downtown" in the destination when every other trolley route, except the 9, go downtown. the "17 Oak Via/Downtown", the "3 Main" that's actually a short turn, the 9s and 99s to "Comm'l/Bdway Stn" or all of the P/R messages written in textspeak over multiple exposures. On the other hand, this still leaves all the signs that don't show error messages but are still awful-e.g.
Regardless of cause, it's troubling that it has taken so long to address you'd think providing useful information to customers would be a higher priority for CMBC.

There was some debate in the Transit-Vancouver archives whether it's laziness, a programming screw-up or a software problem.
