bus on the 99 B-Line pulled up to the comml-broadway (first stop) loading bay and only opened the front door. me and everyone waiting single file within the painted lines, for the rear door, stared at the driver’s mirror for 10 seconds in disappointment. i was sick of this so i pulled the sensitive edge “drunk alarm” on the door and that managed to get the operator to open up the rear doors lmao
99 is all door boarding dude cmon. it even says it on the bus stop.
I don't know. Congestion pricing seems a bit more fair to me than a flat levy across all vehicles in #britishcolumbia

#Translink has recorded an extra 3 million passenger journeys in 2024/25 compared to the previous year, reflecting growing public transport use across Northern #Ireland. Chief Executive Chris Conway credited sustained investment in services, facilities, and decarbonisation efforts. Major developments include the opening of #Belfast Grand Central Station, now Ireland’s largest integrated #transport hub, and the revamped York Street Station in North Belfast. Translink has also introduced over 250 zero-emission buses, covering 7 million emission-free miles, and rolled out contactless payments on all services. The company continues to support climate goals and economic regeneration, with a new ‘Better On Board’ charter encouraging businesses to promote sustainable travel among staff.

How about using #congestion pricing to raise some money instead of raising fares?

🚨 Langley’s transit system is on the brink 🚨
Without urgent funding, up to 50% of Translink bus routes could be cut, leaving riders stranded and traffic gridlocked.
@MovementYVR is fighting to protect riders.

#Translink has launched the ‘Better on Board’ public #transport charter in #Derry ~ #Londonderry, promoting sustainable travel to reduce emissions, ease congestion, and improve air quality. Since the introduction of the zero-emission #Foyle #Metro service in September 2023, over 3 million passenger journeys have been made, saving more than 2,000 tonnes of CO2. The charter, backed by over 20 initial partners, including businesses, organisations, and local stakeholders, encourages greater use of public transport for the region's social, economic, and environmental benefit. Translink aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieve a zero-emission fleet across Northern #Ireland by 2040.

#Translink has installed a new bus shelter in Coolnagard Estate, Omagh, Northern #Ireland, following a request by #Fermanagh and #Omagh District Council. Identified in 2020, the shelter aims to improve public #transport access for residents. Completed in January 2025, it provides a safe, comfortable waiting area for passengers. Councillor John McClaughry welcomed the shelter, emphasising its importance for residents and visitors. Sean Falls from Translink noted the installation responds to increasing passenger demand and supports a more sustainable transport system. The Council is working towards a Net Zero District by 2042, with public transport infrastructure key to this goal.

Federal cash to kickstart TransLink build-out, but no help for ‘fiscal cliff’
The $1.5 billion in capital funding over 10 years, part of the permanent Public Transit Fund, could hinge on the outcome of a federal election expected to kick off by Sunday.

My wife and son are off on a grand trip... and I am jealous, not for the beach they're going to (ok, a little) but for the -- apparently -- brand new transit bus they're riding right now from the Tsawwassen Ferry to Bridgeport station near #YVR! (#620)
We usually travel to Horseshoe Bay terminal and take transit (often articulated #255) in to downtown Vancouver from there.
Charging ports and Reading lights on a double decker bus!!?? WHAAT!
Part 1 of a series on the $600million crises facing Translink in Vancouver, done with local reporting. #Transit #Translink #Vancouver https://www.vancitylookout.com/p/vancouver-transit-system-translink-funding
“If new funding isn’t found to sustain TransLink’s operations by April 2025, we could be facing a 50 per cent cut in bus service and a 30 per cent cut in rail service.”
April 2025 is NEXT MONTH :blobcatscared:

First time for everything. Just experienced a fare check on the bus. A bunch of transit police boarded at a stop and went through scanning everyone’s cards. #Transit #Translink
Hey, si viven en la #PeninsuladeBurrard en #MetroVancouver llenen el cuestionario de #translink sobre las rutas de autobús!
Hablo un poco de esto en mi sección de #NoticiasLocales en el blog, para añadir contexto:
Salud.
Google blatantly lies to tell to remain on a bus that is LITERALLY TAKING A BREAK. Was told to get off by Coast Mountain bus drivers and they agreed Google lies and is terrible. #transit #translink
Hey #translink, #bctransit, #vanpoli #bcpoli #canlab #cdnpoli... let's do this too!
I have been dreaming of a East/West route down 57th Ave! Please make it so #Translink!
