There will be TWO elections this October, and we hope transit riders vote in both of them! It can be confusing to figure out which level of government is responsible for what (especially when candidates make promises they can’t follow through on).

On Monday morning, we rode the very first extended R2 at 5:55am. 😴 Council candidate Joel Gibbs who is running with the Burnaby Green Party joined us. We agree that it’s super exciting to have north-south rapid transit in Burnaby! Thank you Joel!

Mayor Buchanan led the way to make sure the R2 extension would be a priority, and that it would receive funding to actually exist! She joined us Monday on the very first ride to celebrate! Thank you Mayor Buchanan! 😊

We rode the very first extended R2 with Independent Burnaby Council Candidate Larry Chin! It’s such a delight it is that transit is now a much better option for folks travelling across five municipalities from Park Royal to Metrotown. 🥰 Thanks Larry for joining us.

It was cheap and easy for volunteers to put benches at five bus stops. Will municipal candidates from across Metro Vancouver take the hint? movementyvr.ca/we-in...

A big reason why the AM peak seems less and less bad while the PM peak is becoming a disaster. People aren't driving to the office as much but they are driving their kids to practice, driving to the store, to yoga, etc. between 3 and 6pm.

The quality of your transit system is largely dictated by who is elected in municipal politics! Vote for those who will say yes to transit expansion, who will allocate road space to buses ... and who maybe even use transit themselves! 🚍 Sign @movementyvr.bsky.social 's pledge! Vote for transit!

The wait is finally over! The results of the Metrotown-North Shore BRT engagement is in and..... Hastings and Willingdon is the preferred route! 🥳 Thank you to everyone who filled out this survey! All 12,551 of you. 🤯
The singer from Earth, Wind and Fire is in the background of this post with the following text:
Do you remember?
The 21st night of September?
(It was the last day of a certain survey about a certain transit route)
[a map shows the options for the two routes, the first along Hastings and Willingdon and the second along Boundary and Lougheed]
The survey results for the Metrotown-North Shore BRT
are FINALLY in...A map of the full route with a question mark next to the unknown part of the route is displayed

What is the Metrotown-North Shore BRT again?

This new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route will go from Metrotown to Park Royal in only 60 minutes
Last year TransLink surveyed the public asking which route is preferredTransit riders WON!
[support scores for the Hastings St and Willingdon Ave BRT route options by area are shown, with ranges from 42% to 72% in support, with all but one area having 54% or more support]

Overall, respondents preferred Option 1: Hastings and Willingdon

But the route isn't decided yet!A picture of a person waiting at a bus stop in the Heights is shown with the following text:

Thank you to all 12,551 of you who filled out the survey!
That has to be a new record

TransLink expects to make a preferred route recommendation in 2027.

If you're a Burnaby voter - tell council candidates which route you prefer

There's an election this fall and city council will have the most say for the final route
