Add more service and bus lanes?

In moments like these, you see how much heavy lifting our bus network actually does. It would only take 2 buses to clear that entire crowd.
Buses are crucial, moving 100,000s of people.
It's well past time for all-day bus lanes on major streets, like they have in other regions.

Downtown buses should not have to detour for an event that happens dozens of times a year.
They should be protected with bus lanes so the cruise traffic doesn't affect them. If the cruises bring in so much money, we can spare a few bucks for transit priority, right?
#RiderAlert
R5 Hastings St to Burrard Station detour beginning at 8:00 AM. Regular route to Hastings and Richards, via Richards, Pender, Howe, resume regular route due to cruise ship traffic. ^CK

Every single transit rider is a sidewalk user. In fact, when it's too dodgy to drive, some choose to switch to transit.
Why, then, are sidewalks treated like a luxury? Why do we only get a clear sidewalk if every single home pulls their weight? [thread]

Make no mistake, transit has powerful opponents. We have to fight for every single bus, every single metre of rail.
Their vision of progress? Freeways trampling through our communities, shoveling more cars than ever into our historic city centres. Gridlock and destruction.

Remember this picture of Kingsway. It's a part of our history, not our future.
TransLink wants bus lanes.
City council wants bus lanes.
Movement wants bus lanes.
The only reason we don't have them yet is because there are powerful forces still opposed. But we'll win.
The fact we have articulated buses stuck in traffic w/o a lane, and for 2 cycles w/o any signal priority is a policy failure. the fact that I didn't get on the 19&25 I watched stuck in the traffic bc of how much this intersection prioritizes cars over ppl is also a policy failure

Why is transit ridership growing so fast on Surrey suburban buses like the 323?
This might have something to do with it. . .
People ride transit when it's fast, frequent, and reliable.
Supercharge ridership with bus lanes and signal priority!

The new Permanent Transit Fund
❌ Will pay for a bus but not the driver or gas
❌ Won't start until April 2026
What does this say to a transit rider who's been passed up by four 49s in a row?
If you want transportation support from the feds, go buy an electric car.
If we’re going to build more public transit, we should build housing next to it. It’s that simple.

Why should you have to front $189.45 to get the best transit fares? It's an equity issue. In a growing list of cities including London and Edmonton, fares are simply capped.
Just pay as you go, and if you reach the value of a monthly pass, then the rest of your trips are free.
This is brilliant:
#Dublin
has “fare capping” on its public transport. When you buy a LEAP farecard, you get charged a max. of €5.60 a day, or €22 / wk, no matter how many rides you take on commuter rail/DART/trams/buses. Thnx to

In other cities, automatic tickets go to cars that illegally use the bus lane. Our buses already have cameras! All we need is a tweak to BC law.
Notice the "SORRY BUS FULL" sign, meaning about 100 people being held up by a dozen cars.

PRESS RELEASE: Here's our response to Minister Fleming's announcement.
Movement is urgently calling for bus lanes, because we can't wait 2 yrs for relief from the overcrowding that is affecting so many transit riders. Read on to find out how it works:
Today, our govt. announced $300 million in
@TransLink
funding to address overcrowding on transit. More service hours on over 60 bus routes, addit. weekday SeaBus service & later HandyDART service will make transit more reliable for those who depend on it.

"You know as well as I do that bus riders are doing us a favour. They’re the reason why we don’t have an additional 30,000 cars on 49th Avenue every day. Buying enough buses to reduce crowding is a bargain compared to the alternative."

A wider Pattullo would move the bottleneck into downtown New West. Then what? Are we going to tear down 000s of homes and spend billions to build a freeway there? Where does it end?
We can ask cities like Houston. Even on the widest freeways in the world, they have traffic.

Did you know TransLink won't even be able to increase frequency in rush hours for at least two years? We desperately need more bus lanes *now*, which will allow us to better use the buses we already have. Faster bus=more capacity, less overcrowding
At the
@APTA_info
conference, a Vancouver, Canada public transit planner said that they keep increasing frequencies to address overcrowding, but it just induces more ridership so the crowding comes back. We haven't begun to saturate the market for fixed route bus service in

We know
@sarahkirby_yung
passed a motion last fall to implement bus lanes.
Since then, transit crowding has gotten worse, and TransLink doesn't have the buses to fix it.
We need urgent help.
This new council motion is council's opportunity to build more bus lanes, faster.
✨BIG NEWS ✨On July 24, Vancouver City Council has a huge opportunity to improve transit for all Vancouverites. A motion is coming that would direct the city to add dedicated bus lanes on 8 major corridors through Vancouver. (1/12)

Who will save one million transit riders?
Who will fund transit so we can finally get rid of severe overcrowding? The 🇨🇦 govt has refused to for at least 2 years.
That leaves 2 potential sources: the province or the cities.

Now it's time to get into the details and make Vancouver's bus routes the best buses in North America!
Proud to support this. Anything we can do to help speed up transit service and reliability is a big win for current (and future) Vancouver transit riders. Dedicated bus lanes and BRT is a proven, cost-effective way to make getting around the city easier.

All of a sudden it doesn't seem so bad. This is a great initiative.

What do y'all think about these kinds of shelters? Should they also provide shade?
Many bus shelters in Metro Vancouver are designed to only protect riders from the rain, with translucent roofs designed to let light in during the winter
But that’s proving inadequate as our summers get longer and hotter
Cities must adapt bus shelter design to climate change

All-door boarding not only speeds up transit, but it also evens out the people in the front and back of the bus. TransLink allows it on RapidBus, 99, and some stops on the 145.
Why not system wide?

I've got good news and bad news.
The good news is that Movement made a transit bingo.
The bad news is that you're going to have to sign up to join at if you have ANY HOPE of winning. Sorry, we don't make the rules.

This is great! Thanks, Burnaby for your leadership on shelters! Can we start some healthy competition?

, are you going to let Burnaby lap you like that?
Who else should be tagged?
The City installed 50 new bus shelters across Burnaby in 2023 & plans for 50 more in 2024, making it safer & more comfortable for people taking transit. The Bus Shelter Expansion Program launched in 2023, with the goal of adding 370 new shelters by 2030.

Through consultation, the public asked TransLink to go all in on Bus Rapid Transit. Here's a video about Albuquerque's BRT, which is pretty good.
He mentions that BRTs can be watered down; Movement will be vigilant to ensure our BRTs will be top-notch.

Excellent point! If you agree, come speak to Vancouver council on July 24 to ask for more bus lanes, faster!
@MovementYVR
It's worth mentioning that the emergency services benefit from bus lanes and priority measures, as it will help them bypass heavy traffic to improve their response times and save lives. 👍

Let's stir the pot a bit, shall we?
The 49. If you've ridden it, then you know.
We had a great welcome from the UBC students at CAPACity for our very first event ever. The topic?
Fixing the 49.

Here's the first video in our MLA Little Video Challenge, with MLA
@MichaelLeeBC
from Vancouver-Langara. He has a pretty compelling set of priorities for better transit, which is one of the most transit riding-est districts in BC! Just look at that queue!

Burnaby Heights deserves better transit, and we made that clear at the

meeting!

We need more buses, and more places to store them!
Under construction is this unique new bus depot. We learned a ton from watching Stainer's video about it. It will house battery electric buses, be raised 4m above the ground, and have 3 storeys! Watch:

When cities host major sporting events, their population increases by 000,000s! They need a quick, easy way to increase the capacity of their transpo network.
What's their go-to move? How did Vancouver survive the Olympics without descending into chaos?

We're jealous ♥️
Rolling out the red carpet on Chicago Avenue!
Crews are installing bus-only lanes between Grand and Western, creating a continuous bus lane on Chicago Ave from Grand to Ashland, supporting faster, more reliable transit service along the corridor.

If you have a long attention span and a secret desire to be a traffic engineer, check out this video on how traffic works.
It explains why bus delay is getting so bad in our region, and how each add'l car has an exponential impact.
What's the solution?

The amount of volunteers that have stepped up for this MLA campaign is life-giving. We swarmed the city and shot these at different bus stops. If you want to say somethin to your MLA, reach out via

Notice the bus route in the video 👀
It's so bad they're using it in ads!
They're right, though, we need so much more funding for transit. Sign the petition!
Do you want a faster, more reliable commute?
Tell government representatives that we need better transit now. Visit and sign the petition today.

Transit wins elections
Sadiq Khan wins 3rd term as London mayor.
Khan has led new council housing construction, pledging to build 40,000 public homes by 2030.
He introduced Superloop London suburban bus service, & says he will deliver Bakerloo Line Extension, West London Orbital & DLR to Thamesmead.

Here's the first MLA who's agreed to an interview! Keep your eyes peeled for it soon. Thank you

@denisagar
Yes! As we have discussed, I have been calling for increased transit throughout South Vancouver. Amplifying this while answering some fun questions sounds great. My Community Office will be in touch with you to arrange a time.

@sarahkirby_yung
has championed bus riders in a way we haven't seen before.
Since her motion, ridership has blown past expectations, and TL doesn't have the buses to increase capacity.
We're asking council to consider moving more urgently; especially when the fixes are so...
Strongly agree with benefit of bus lanes to reduce congestion and get everyone moving faster. Why I brought motion last October to do this. In a few short months, approved by Translink, secured $11M in funding, & five routes already in City work plan and slated for completion by

When buses like the 99 B-Line, R1 and 49 are full to the brim, as is increasingly the case, they carry 120 people. So it would take 8.3 of our buses to carry 1000 people.

Gradually, states and provinces are leaving freeway expansion in the past. It doesn't work, it's expensive, and it makes traffic worse.
Now Michigan, home of the auto industry, is in the spotlight. Congrats y'all!
Incredible news today. Not only is MDOT dismissing the expansion alternatives for US-23, they're also refocusing the project in a way that will facilitate better non-motorized and public transit connections in our community and our region!

Gov'ts are waking up to the fact that we simply can't keep stuffing more cars into our cities.
Imagine if we kept expanding roads.
Adding more car capacity would mean >$10b spent on freeways that eliminate 1000s of homes and productive businesses.
