Turns out people ride transit more if you make it better! TransLink released its annual Transit Service Performance Review, and we've boiled it down to something you can actually understand. Check it out on our website! movementyvr.ca/2025-...

TSPR? TL;DR We studied TransLink‘s 2025 Transit Service Performance Review so you don’t have to!

Election in 78 days! Tell us your transit priorities so we can show municipal candidates what riders really need. https://bit.ly/4wCk4M0 We're going to be working hard over the next few months to provide you with information about the candidates and get transit riders to the polls.

The wait is finally over! The results of the Metrotown-North Shore BRT engagement is in and..... Hastings and Willingdon is the preferred route! 🥳 Thank you to everyone who filled out this survey! All 12,551 of you. 🤯

The singer from Earth, Wind and Fire is in the background of this post with the following text:
Do you remember?
The 21st night of September?
(It was the last day of a certain survey about a certain transit route)
[a map shows the options for the two routes, the first along Hastings and Willingdon and the second along Boundary and Lougheed]
The survey results for the Metrotown-North Shore BRT
are FINALLY in...

A map of the full route with a question mark next to the unknown part of the route is displayed

What is the Metrotown-North Shore BRT again?

This new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route will go from Metrotown to Park Royal in only 60 minutes
Last year TransLink surveyed the public asking which route is preferred

Transit riders WON!
[support scores for the Hastings St and Willingdon Ave BRT route options by area are shown, with ranges from 42% to 72% in support, with all but one area having 54% or more support]

Overall, respondents preferred Option 1: Hastings and Willingdon

But the route isn't decided yet!

Thank you to all 12,551 of you who filled out the survey!
That has to be a new record

TransLink expects to make a preferred route recommendation in 2027.

If you're a Burnaby voter - tell council candidates which route you prefer

There's an election this fall and city council will have the most say for the final route

At about noon today, Broadway between Cambie and Alberta was closed. This 6-month closure has the potential to cause delays on one of the busiest bus corridors in North America, a corridor that is on the verge of being upgraded to rail rapid transit. movementyvr.ca/broad...

Rally today at Metrotown Station from 12-1:30pm!

New York just showed what organized riders can win. Now it’s our turn to stop acting like a low-income transit pass is a pipe dream. We can have nice things here too. But only if we show up and make noise. Rally is tomorrow! Be there, bring your people!

Where is the low-income transit pass? The Province has been quiet. But the need is urgent and fares go up on July 1. Join us at Metrotown Station from 12–1:30 p.m. to demand transit affordability and a low-income transit pass.

We've been campaigning hard for a low-income transit pass: - 2,400+ emails sent to MLAs - 50+ organizations signed on - over a dozen media mentions - beautiful art, posters and zines - a rally coming up on July 1st - a Vancouver Council motion, soon Langley, and possibly more municipalities?!?

Email to: Langley Mayor + City Council

Subject: Please support the motion for affordable transit

Hi Council,

I am a Langley resident and I support the motion to create a low income transit pass. Your voice will be crucial in convincing the province and TransLink to fill this massive gap in our region's infrastructure.

Did you know: We're one of the only regions in North America that doesn't have this?

We truly lucked out with our interns. Mandeep has been with us for the past year as a volunteer, and since May, as a staff. It is hard to overstate the impact she has had on our team and our community. We are going to miss her. Thank you, Mandeep, for everything you have given to this work.

📣LIT Pass Update 📣 We’re so close, y’all! Let’s keep the pressure on. It’s time for the province to expand the BC Bus Program to include all low-income people. Transit affordability isn’t something we can shove under the rug again. win.newmode.net/movementyvr-...
