Riders deserve clean and hygienic transit. Workers who keep transit clean and hygienic deserve the proper equipment and fair labour practices. It’s the bare minimum.

We had a wonderful time tabling at YWCA BC's City Shift 2.0 Wrap-Up Event a couple weeks ago! It was an inspiring evening of reflection of how we can make cities more equitable by considering different perspectives. Check out the advocacy resources from City Shift here: ywcabc.org/ywca-city... 1/3

Thanks to everyone who joined us last Monday for our sold-out “Unpacking Transit in Surrey” event! We’re still buzzing from the great conversations. Huge thanks to our panelists and to our event partner, Surrey Citizen.

movementyvr.ca/release-bpat... TransLink just dropped the final version of a plan to update the transit network from UBC all the way to New Westminster, called the Burrard Peninsula Area Transportation Plan, or BPATP for short. 🧵

Is Surrey a transit leader, or is it left behind? Join us Mar 23, 5:30–7:30 PM to unpack riders’ concerns and hopes. Free event with dinner! Hosted with Surrey Citizen. Register: actionnetwork.org/events/unpac...

The City of Surrey just released its proposed 2026-2030 budget/financial plan, outlining how it will raise and spend money over the next five years. How does this impact transit riders? Here’s what we found from our review. movementyvr.ca/surre...

Disappointed but not surprised to see that the 2023 bus priority motion from @sarahkirbyyung.bsky.social has been scaled back and the 2024 bus priority motion from @christineboyle.bsky.social has been postponed.

We’re just 100 days out from FIFA. What does the @cityofvancouver.bsky.social need to do to prepare for the influx of tourism and travel demand headed to the city soon?

Transportation can make or break the experience for people visiting Vancouver for the first time. To avoid gridlock, we need transit to be the convenient and comfortable choice. dailyhive.com/vancouver/tr...

Beg button: WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! Everyone: *doesn't wait*

I am finally finished this thread on my week-long trip to Mexico! I rode SO MUCH TRANSIT. They're building a lot of it, and it's all interesting in different ways. Please read it, it took way too long to poast.

West 49th could use space reallocation to accommodate active transpo or bus lanes. It's 4 lanes wide, of which only 2 are usable because of an occasional parked car.

Tonight at 7pm, online. From safer streets to faster trains, the changes you want are possible—and transportation advocate Carter Lavin can show you how to make them real. From the comfort of home. Need more convincing? Learn more and register for the meeting link at:

This is amazing work, at the headline level it’s grounded, practical, and seems effective without decades of money questing in Ottawa. The work Movement is doing blows me away which is why you should be like me in this way only and donate monthly.

Wishing you fewer delays, more celebration! HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR! 🧧🐎

Buses in Surrey are slow, indirect, overcrowded, and sometimes downright unpleasant to ride. We believe Surrey transit riders deserve better, so we’re proposing 3 big ideas which could improve your ride: youtube.com/shorts/BMZg9...

“This event showed that transit improvements can be hot and popular. We are asking the City of Vancouver to Roll Out the Red Carpet for the most popular local bus route in our region.” — Nav Sharma, Director of Marketing & Communications, Movement. “Read more on our website:

Surrey’s Transit Future is our vision for the transit network in Surrey. We conducted engagement with Surrey residents and Movement volunteers to inform our plan. This plan was led by our volunteers Ahasan Bhuiyan and Abby Ivison with support from staff. Give it a read!

7 years that’s like the timeline for Shane and Ilya in #HeatedRivalry. Bus lanes don’t need a slow burn!

so we’re kinda blowing up on ❌🐥 right now… www.vancouverisawesome.com/events-and-e...

Everyone’s talking about the lines for team Canada at the Olympics. But the only Olympic Canada Line I know is the SkyTrain ❤️🚈

The City of Vancouver has just announced all day bus lanes on 49th Ave. Movement strongly supports this as the push for bus lanes on 49th was Movement’s first campaign back in 2023, and we’re excited to see results. The question is: Why only Cambie to Fraser?

How do we feel about this?

All-day bus lanes on Hastings are coming! But only for a tiny section. Extensive, all-day bus lanes would make bus trips feel more like SkyTrain, and they only need signs and paint. 1/2

“We are disappointed. This motion was simple, it aimed to ensure that everyone, not just frequent transit riders but also snow-day transit users (like drivers who want to keep their car parked during a storm) have reliable transit access during harsh winters“ - Aman Chandi movementyvr.ca/vanco...

Did you know: at least 1,240 Metro Vancouver bus stops don’t have benches for waiting riders! 😱 Working with our pals over at @movementyvr.bsky.social, we mapped out where weary soles are most in need of somewhere to sit: https://go.transit.app/vancouver-benches 🍑🪑

You can help get this poor bus out of the snow! This Wednesday, February 4th, Vancouver City Council will vote on a motion to give snow clearing priority to transit trouble spots. We can't believe they don't do this already. council.vancouver.ca... 1/3

With municipal elections coming up in October, it's exciting to see candidates in the region are campaigning to win the support of transit riders. There's over 1 million of us, a third of Metro Vancouverites use transit at least once weekly.

Yesterday was the first day of the Main and Broadway road closure, we have lots more to say about that soon. 👀 ICYMI, this is the latest update on the bus lanes planned for Granville. 1/3

Slow-walking bus lanes? Although the City of Vancouver has promised to expand bus priority across the city, twice, these projects are getting scaled back and delayed. Promised back in 2023, deadlines are now being shifted into the unspecified future. Read the full article.

Transit riders!! It's time for our 2026 INs and OUTs! 🚌✨ We asked our volunteers on Movement's volunteer Discord server what their INs and OUTs are for 2026. Did we miss any? 🤔

IN for 2026: - Bus lanes - Taking transit and shopping local - Reading Heated Rivalry on the commute 🥅🏒 👀 - Not having to deal with blinding LED headlights - Donating or volunteering with Movement - Politicians who ACTUALLY care about public transit riders - Better transit to parks

Winter is coming and our most crowded routes are getting targeted relief!

BC just reported on their progress towards pollution reduction goals. Here's what we had to say: "Expanding transit is the fastest tool we have to reduce pollution, and we have evidence.” Read more:

Next time you hop off the bus or SkyTrain, take a moment to see what local gems await you. By choosing to shop local, you’re not just supporting small businesses—you’re also contributing to a more vibrant community. 1/2

“Transit expansion is the climate solution that is also a cost-of-living solution.” – Denis Agar, quoted in a HUB Cycling press release in response to CleanBC. Read more:

Your friends will be asking about the sick stickers on your laptop, the buttons on your backpack, your super rad local union-made tote bag, or this sweet bumper sticker for your car (or your mom’s car). Oh yeah, and a secret mystery item!

Three events, two top funding models, one night to remember: Transit's Next Top Funding Model. The energy in the room was incredible as teams presented innovative transit funding solutions. Thank you to everyone who participated, attended, and supported this event.

🚌✨ That's a wrap on GoByTransitWeek! We celebrated Metro Vancouver's 1M daily transit riders with Celebration Stations & ride-alongs with 14 elected officials. Thank you for sharing your stories! This is just the beginning. #GoByTransitWeekYVR

Have you heard of the Transit Death Spiral? It's happening right now in Metro Vancouver. Nic Laporte explains it perfectly in this video in collaboration with Movement. Do you think we can flip this downward spiral into growth that serves the needs of our region?

Dream team vibes! This was our biggest event yet, and we couldn’t be prouder of our team for pulling it off. More to come!
