"Yes, that’s lit!” in your language? 📣 Punjabi, Chinese, Korean and Spanish speakers 📣 did we get it right? 👀 Help us advocate for a low-income transit (LIT) pass. win.newmode.net/move...

"They see their peers being targeted by Transit Police, and there’s this perception that they’re being singled out." – Aman Chandi, Movement

Arthur C Clarke said that "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Apparently, e-mail newsletters are sufficiently advanced because I got a BUNCH of people with this joke today

We needed a low-income transit pass yesterday, but it’s not too late to act. Before July’s fare hikes, BC must expand the Bus Pass Program to include ALL low-income people. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

This is one of those weird policy spaces where we have fallen behind Calgary, Edmonton, Kamloops, Toronto, every major American city, etc. I always come back to "why?", what with our reputation for leftyness? The situation is embarrassing and I hope that will make this campaign an easy win.

If you haven’t already heard, transit fares are going up again in July by 5%. This increase will hit hardest those already struggling to make ends meet. litpass.ca

Date cancelled: They wanted to meet in Surrey but I don’t have a 3-zone transit pass.

Date cancelled: They want more fare enforcement.

Add up gas, insurance, parking, maintenance, and the car itself; car ownership can easily cost you $15,000 annually. Families that switch from two cars to one, or from one car to none can save a ton of money.

Some updates on Vancouver bus lanes and... 1/2

TransLink announced that the Second Narrows Bridge is getting a RapidBus! Is that what we wanted? The R2 extension in September 2026 will make it a one seat ride from Metrotown to the North Shore. This follows the same route as the BRT we want, but a BRT will be much cooler.

I am confident that one day we will have SkyTrain to UBC and gondola to SFU. We need to band together and fight for funding, and elect leaders who make them a priority. If you care about these things, then @movementyvr.bsky.social is for you.

We're hiring! See movementyvr.ca/work-... for more details.

We were debating whether to give up or scale down this Freedom of Information request, but then we thought, why not turn it into a fundraiser? movementyvr.ca/donate/ Are you willing to chip in to cover the cost of this FOI request (and all the other awesome stuff we do)?

expect a firm finger wagging if you try to board the SkyTrain from the emergency windows

Single-door boarding on SkyTrain starts today. What do you think about the new service change?

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Today’s a reminder to be you and be kind every day. 🙂‍↕️🫶

Clean trains and buses are absolutely essential to a comfortable, safe and healthy transit journey! It's unacceptable that SkyTrain janitorial staff have been facing major issues since SkyTrain switched cleaning contracts, including workers being instructed to clean washrooms with water alone. 🤢

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
