Stop sending short buses to Production Way during peak hours!

It really upsets me whenever I see a short bus coming into the Production Way Station bus loop during the peak hours (7:00AM~9:00AM). Not only does it not seat as many passenger as a long one, sometimes a short bus counts as a long one and no more would be arriving until another 3+ minutes time span has gone by, making the place more and more crowded. I really start doubting if Translink knows, or even cares, about the amount of angered students who wish to be punctual for their morning classes.

The Production Way Station bus loop is designed to have people line up in 3 lines to board a long bus. However, when a short bus arrives, people who are lining up for the rear door would not hesitate to cut into the centre, which "effectively" delays the digestion of the middle line. It is extremely unfair, because they line up early but do not get on the bus early. We cannot blame on any of these students, because we all want to get into class on time. Given that, the spearhead of the full blame should go to Translink itself. Why would they want to send short buses when they know that Production Way is the busiest line of all that goes to SFU? If they HAVE TO send short buses, is it so difficult to send more of them, or be a little more flexible on the departure time? Some drivers disregard the crowd and sticks only to their assigned departure time while the arrival of more SkyTrains only further extend the lines.

For this semester, I am almost never on time for my morning classes. That includes trying to arrive early by 15 minutes, but still fails to catch a bus earlier. What I find to be the most interesting thing is that it was not always like this in the pervious semester.
