Regarding Prime Minister Carney’s federal budget: I don’t pretend to fully know it, and there are elements that concern me, but if I were the NDP I’d pledge to support it if a significant investment in urban public transit (nation-building, climate etc) was added, and if I were PM Carney I’d agree.

Thank you to the City of Vancouver for listening to our suggestion of seeking out the opinions of transit riders! Transit riders are the most affected by bus priority improvements like bus lanes, and we should be actively consulted. As for the proposed bus lane changes on Kingsway... 1/3

You might have recently noticed some signs proudly declaring “The 19 is getting faster!” Sadly, “faster” is a pitiful 3%. The city’s own goal for speeding up buses is 10%. They’re making this proposal mild in advance. We’re here to say “dream bigger, we want this!” Visit our website to take action.

👻 come find us at 3pm at Metrotown Station this Friday for Halloween. We’ve got some fun activity books, candy and stickers to give out!

Rapid transit improvements work best when it’s designed to serve an area of shops, restaurants and housing… We’re fighting to make sure transit improvements that serve the needs of our region don’t get shut down by people afraid of change.

Last day for the TransLink survey! 🚍 "The demand for better transit is already here," says a 20-year Heights resident. Option 1 = better access to housing & businesses. Option 2 = thousands left behind. Link in bio to have your say! #BurnabyHeights #TransitJustice

📊 Transit = Affordability Our Executive Director sat down with CKNW to discuss how improved public transit can help address the affordability crisis. A study by Metro Vancouver reveals that households with reliable transit access find significant savings in Transportation. movementyvr.ca/cars-...

It's no surprise that housing in Metro Vancouver is expensive. But it might surprise you that for some parts of our region, transportation costs even more than housing. 1/3

Cars expensive! Transit cheap! A new study finds that high transportation costs are driven largely by owning vehicles and people who live by rapid transit have a lower cost of living. We're absolutely shocked! (Just kidding, we aren't surprised at all.) 1/2

Would you rather have new convenient transit access to the wonderful restaurants and shops in Burnaby Heights, or to a station that's already served by SkyTrain? The choice is yours! 1/3

Come with us to the Richmond Olympic Oval in the @cityofrichmondbc.bsky.social a landmark destination in the city. How can we improve the experience for transit riders of all ages and abilities?

This. Is. Huge. It appears that the judge saved the bike lanes because they found that: -removing the bike lanes would reduce the safety of cyclists, going against the charter of rights and freedoms -removing the bike lanes would worsen congestion, going against the removal's stated purpose
