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?

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...

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.

Our first #GoByTransitWeekYVR in Metro Vancouver was such a hit! We had a blast celebrating transit riders and showing politicians the need for better transit. We thank the 14 political figures all across the political spectrum, and levels of government who joined us in celebrating GoByTransitWeek.
