For the best visual we've seen of the transit plan, check out this map from the Vancouver Sun (link to pdf).

It's also worth taking a look at the following news clip, which provides a decent overview of the plan:

And finally, we'll turn over the detailed analysis to Paul Hillsdon, the twelfth grader who arguably has a better grasp of Lower Mainland transportation issues than our own Minister of Transport.
