Public Service * Canada - Let the transit move you
Open Letter to Neophyte Transit Users. With that in mind I give you this:
Vancouver,BC,Canada -Olympic City Girl -February 20, 2010: -- Dear tourists, suburbanites and recovering oil-junkies, on behalf of regular transit users in Metro Vancouver, I’d like to welcome you aboard our SkyTrain, Canada Line, SeaBus and buses... I’m so glad you’ve come out to spur Vancouver, if only for a few weeks, to make like a proper urban centre with quick, efficient transit running late into the night and at regular, frequent intervals... To my shock and awe, the people of this good city are much smarter than I’d given them credit for. A good 30 per cent of those who drive have parked their cars in exchange for public transit and alternative transport as per Vanoc’s request. Although, I guess it’s not much of a surprise, since to drive downtown these days — as some insist on doing — you would have to be an utter masochist... TransLink is reporting its highest usage ever, 1.5 million people last Sunday, with the peak yet to come this weekend with the awesome weather (there are cherry blossoms out!) and continuing party downtown...
