I had designed some bumper sticker ideas for BC Transit, but none can match that one.
Seven bumper sticker ideas:
• Honk if you wish you were on a bus reading your favourite book instead of this bumper sticker
• Honk if you're tired of car depency
• Keep honking, I can't go any faster because I'm not a BC Transit bus in a dedicated bus lane
• I'd rather be on a bus
• My other vehicle is a BC Transit 2026 New Flyer XE40 with a Siemens PEM 1DB2022 electric traction motor
• My other car is the bus
• Proud parent of a student who rides the bus

Apparently there's an on-demand transit service in Squamish that carries 100 people a *month*. For a service that runs for 10 hours on all weekdays with 2 buses, that seems quite low (0.8 boardings/hr). In general, I'm curious how often on-demand is actually more cost effective than regular buses.
