Did you experience transit trouble on the way to work Monday morning?

You’re certainly not alone.

Across, the transportation network – and particularly on the 99 B-Line – the Monday morning snow caused headaches for people heading to work.

Here are some of the best social media posts from Vancouver commuters stranded in the snow.

Taking transit on this snow day? Good luck – 2 train queues, door stoppers at Broadway Station. #translink #skytrain pic.twitter.com/QmLtwaBzfv

Decided to leave the car at home and trust Translink this morning. #badidea #vancouver #translink

How are 4 NOT IN SERVICE busses just sitting here and 2 144 SFU busses for 10+ mins to when like 100+ people waiting for busses? #Translink

Chaos at Metrotown bus loop. The line for the 130 is ridiculous! @AM730Traffic @NEWS1130Traffic #Translink

This is a joke. Every skytrain that goes by is FULL. Good job #translink you’re not prepared again

First lite snowstorm of year, every single bus on Granville St is pulled over to the side of road. Translink wasn’t prepared. #Translink

Hey @TransLink the 99 bline driver of bus 8125 deserves a medal for getting us to UBC this morning! Or a raise. #hero #snowpocalypse

@g_hennessey Very sorry for the long wait. We have numerous 99’s trapped at 10 & Alma trying to get into UBC to get turned around.^RR

People have a tendency to be most vocal when angry, but no one should wait 25mins for a 99 today. There hasn’t been a single bus @TransLink

Working from home after 1.5 hours wasted on #Translink only to get half way to discover an 1 hour wait at the 99. Deeply disappointed.

#SkyTrain Expo & M-Line. Due to heavy snow accumulations, we are experiencing safety alarms at several stations. Canada Line unaffected. ^RR

Stuck bus driver says he now has to wait or a push. Probably for quite a while. Tells me buses are not heading up Burnaby Mtn to SFU. pic.twitter.com/89rFRQRyWq
