If you too think we need to increase our transit efficiency, support this upcoming motion by Cllr Boyle before July 23rd!

Can we not start funding some new trains though? It'd be really nice to have a connection from New West or Surrey to the Canada line in South Vancouver or Richmond?

I hope so! Expanding SkyTrain is always a tough battle but Translink seems up to fight for it, so we need to pressure cities to churn out more investments on these big projects. That's almost certainly going to require extra federal funding so one more reason to show up for the next provincial and federal elections to vote for someone who cares about public transit.
