Movement: Metro Vancouver Transit Riders @movementyvr.bsky.social · Sep 4

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!

Metrotown–North Shore Bus Rapid Transit
EXPLAINED

A graphic of the MNS BRT route with a question mark around the undecided portion of the route
Park royal - Lonsdale - Phibbs Exchange - Kootenay Loop - Maybe Burnaby Heights - Brentwood - BCIT - Metrotown

Movement: Metro Vancouver Transit Riders

Above: An image of apartment-lined, coffee shop full Hastings Street in Burnaby Heights, from TransLink

Below: Car dealerships and wide streets and powerlines on Boundary Road, Image from Google

In the middle: Which street do you think has more transit riders? And what even is Bus Rapid Transit?

An image of BRT in Utrecht, from Karl Fjellstrom, Far East Mobility

What is Bus Rapid Transit?

BRT is like SkyTrain for the road!
It’s fast, frequent and reliable
- buses every five minutes
- dedicated lanes to zoom past traffic
- fancy stations

Seattle put in BRT and ridership doubled in less than a year

What is the Metrotown-North Shore BRT?

This new BRT route will go from Metrotown to Park Royal in only 60 minutes

The exact route is still undecided

A map of the route from TransLink is displayed in the background

It's Friday, time to decompress & read a short horror story by Zach Acherman: "Only One", Check the first page now, maybe read the rest on the site!

fodongo.jectoons.net/comic/only-o...

(Or in the under-construction-new-site! fodongo.ca/comics/iss1/...)

#comic #zine #fodongo #horror #freeculture

First page of 'Only One' by Zach Acherman. In the first panel there's a kid looking into the fridge, backlit by it. A narration box says 'Daniel has been having trouble sleeping lately'. In the second panel an adult with a knife behind their back looks at Daniel from behind. The narration continues 'Buth this was the first time he's opened the fridge in the middle of the night... I had grabbed a knife thinking it may be an intruder. Not the best look, sneaking up on a kid.' In the third panel the adult kneels next to Daniel and talks to him. 'Daniel, why are you up so late?', he says. Daniel replies 'Mrs. Whisper is hungry'.

It's so crazy how the comics, animation, and video games industries are wildly popular billion dollar profit type shit and yet there is no money and no jobs for the people who make that possible

Being a creative right now feels like being attacked with steel rakes every time you open your phone
