Both TransLink and BC Transit  have failed us over the last 20 years.  They both have and are continuing to waste Millions on bad projects .Both are way behind other areas in Canada and US on Electrification and  converting our buses to Zero Emission.

Some examples; Edmonton has  stopped buying FFB in 2020, LA will complete conversion of their bus fleet to Zero Emission by 2028.; London UK   by 2032 .  Many other  cities  are aiming for 2030 or 2035 . In BC it is 2040 or 2050 or even 2060.!!

Many cities in BC are not expanding their systems as BC government has not provided enough operating money for nearly 20 years .BC is way behind Alberta, Quebec and Ontario in the provision of public transit.

 BC is continuing to promote PRIVATE Transit  instead of providing proper PUBLIC Transit.  HandyDART Para- Transit is completely privatized.Many parts of our system has been privatized in the last 45 years. Where are the 15 different Unions in transit?

 

Anyone can apply to speak or send an email you do not need to live in Metro Vancouver. I would also urge people and organizations to send emails to the BC government  Ministries in charge of Transportation
