The skytrain to me is a system that needs to be grown as quickly as possible. It does such an amazing job at taking vehicles off the road lowering traffic, as well as removing pollution and road wear.
It’s also just essential for people with lower incomes. If we want to support people working to build our economy, giving everyone the ability to get to work at a reasonable and reliable rate is a good move.
It also makes Vancouver’s unaffordability slightly more manageable. People can’t afford to stock shelves downtown and also live there. Giving people a living wage is great, and if we can’t continue to do that, we should at least make it easier for everyone to live further away from where they work.
