like Nos 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 14, 16, 19, 20, 22 23, and R5, and everyday there are many trip cancellations and "ghost" buses . We need improvements now, not by 2030/40 or 2050. Transit riders deserve better.

Staff at TransLink (CMBC) and the City of Vancouver are refusing to follow other cities that improved the slow speed of their downtown buses. West End/Downtown riders are frustrated at the bad and slow bus service. Since 2020 service has been cut back on many downtown bus routes

nathandavidowicz.bsky.social @nathandavidowicz.bsky.social · 20h
This is a safety issue for the drivers. The bus company only gives the drivers 15 minutes or less to travel this badly congested 16 blocks / 2 km distance. The average walking speed is 5 to 6 km per hour so the 2 km segment will take 20 to 24 minutes.
100
nathandavidowicz.bsky.social @nathandavidowicz.bsky.social · 20h
For this 2 km segment the average bus speed is between 5 to 6 kph and it takes 20 to 24 minutes. On many trips the bus drivers get no layover-rest time as they are behind on this badly designed schedule by five to ten minutes. @cityhallwchvan.bsky.social

nathandavidowicz.bsky.social @nathandavidowicz.bsky.social · 20h
It is slower during the busy hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. by at least 2 kph i.e. 7.6 kph. However, if you take the main segment of route #6 between Davie and Mainland (Yaletown-Roundhouse Station ) to Davie and Denman ( English Bay ) you get a much slower speed.

nathandavidowicz.bsky.social @nathandavidowicz.bsky.social · 20h
TransLink provides information on the average speed of various bus routes and Buses No.5 and 6 together are listed as the slowest line in Metro Vancouver, at an average speed of 9.6 kilometers per hour (kph) from early morning to late night. @seanorr.bsky.social @lucymaloney.bsky.social

A pilot program to replace subway turnstiles with high-tech entry gates has led to a major reduction in fare evasion, New York transit officials said, and 50 more stations will soon have them.

COPE stands with the IUOE Local 963 workers.
IN SOLIDARITY WITH IUOE LOCAL 963
COPE stands with the IUOE Local 963 workers following a 96.9% vote in favour of a strike if necessary, as negotiations with Vancouver School Board management have stalled due to management’s concession demands.

These workers keep our schools safe and clean, our students well fed, and supervised during recess and lunch time.

The union's demands are simple: ensuring trained workers serve our kids and our schools, job security for those workers, and the safety and quality of their working conditions. 

The School Board is trying to undermine the required qualifications of trade certifications for power engineers for our schools, devalue their jobs, and lower their wages. Our power engineers are qualified, let's keep it that way. 

Food workers are facing job insecurity due to a funding model that relies on grants and donations, rather than funding from the School Board. Let us be clear, city staff should never have to rely on donations to maintain their jobs. COPE believes our cafeterias and meal programs should be funded by the School Board, not by unpredictable goodwill donations.  

COPE knows it's possible to fully fund these programs – these workers can have job security and kids can count on hot meals at school. COPE school board trustee Suzie Mah fought for 4 years for more stable funding for these programs. 

COPE always stands on the side of workers, and COPE’s Candidates for School Board trustee will always stand with union workers at the VSB.

Changing traffic lights: Also on the issue of transportation, Starchuk committed to synchronizing Surrey's traffic lights into one citywide system that responds to traffic in real time, and to expand seven roads that choke every rush hour: 124 , 144 , 148 , 168 Streets, 80 & 40 Ave. Colebrook Road
