"Dedicated bus lanes make travel easier for everyone on the road and will make transit the obvious choice."
We couldn't agree more Mike. WE COULDNT AGREE MORE!! ♥️ let's chat

We’re FINALLY selling that hoodie you either love or hate.
We're not quite sure what to write here, because the hoodie really speaks for itself.
And it speaks quite loudly.

ALT Michelle may be smiling, but this doesn't necessarily mean she likes the hoodie.

HUGE NEWS! Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland just announced funding for new Bloor-Danforth Line 2 trains 🚇
After so much hard work, transit riders in Toronto get a win 🎉🎉 It's great to see the federal government listening and supporting public transit.
"The city's circulatory system is public transit" - Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland
We couldn't agree more. Canada's big cities run on public transit! 🚉🚌
We're so happy for our friends in Toronto who just had funding announced for new subway trains♥️

"'I would argue that it's some of the smaller, less well-funded grassroots organizations that are really the most cutting-edge and the most effective in terms of coming up with solutions,' said Sen."
We agree! Donate today so we can hire someone!

The average monthly cost of a new car in Canada is $1400 including gas, insurance, etc.
When transit becomes faster, more frequent, more reliable, a few more families are finally able to swap their $1400 car bill for a $140 transit pass.

Movement's official press release on the happenings in Burnaby! Please take a read.
movementyvr.ca/burnaby-counc…
We are very happy to see Burnaby Council move forward on bus priority on Hastings St - the most delayed bus corridor in the entire region 🚌🚍
Better transit is good for everyone, and a project like this is an easy way for that to come to fruition.

We will remain engaged in the process as in the near future there will be important decisions made around Bus Rapid Transit. Councillors signalled support for centre-running BRT, its preservation of parking, AND exclusive right-of-way for the projected 55,000 daily users 🤯

Showtime is tonight! If you haven't emailed Council, you still have the chance to do it! The opponents are mobilizing too.
vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/1…
Burnaby residents: please take a moment to e-mail council *right now* about bus lanes on Hastings. 25k riders/day could benefit from these lanes, but city council is mainly hearing from a handful of merchants.
As much as possible, share personal stories about how much transit means to you! Find out more about what's at stake, and how to reach council:
