My wife mentioned that the value parking lot was closed today. Does anyone know what's up with that? It's usually packed, and they were expanding it, so a closure seems really odd.

It would be nice to see the fare inspectors on vehicles other than ION, I'm totally in favour of all-door boarding on the artics.
