- 🤔🤔🤔 If a bus strike makes traffic way worse, what would happen if we did the opposite of a bus strike? Add more service and bus lanes? 🤔🤔🤔
- This region's businesses run on transit. Imagine if each one of those people were in a car going across the Burrard Bridge to W 4th for @khatsahlano. Your customer base can't scale without transit. What if we honoured these riders' choices with more buses & all-day bus lanes?
- It's amazing what you can do with a free colour laser printer from FB marketplace...3000 flyers printed so far. See you this afternoon at the Canada Line stops for the following routes: R5, 99, 25, 49, 100. @VisionZeroYVR
- Movement is calling on the @BCLegislature to legalize automated bus lane enforcement so that one selfish person in a car doesn't hold up 120 people on a bus. It maintains law and order, and raises revenue. Many other places do this. What are we waiting for?
- Good news, everyone!UNANIMOUS SUPPORT for #BusLanes! Huge thank you everyone who wrote & spoke in support! Parents, students, bus drivers & more. Such compelling stories about the difference this will make for you, the city & climate. YOU DID THIS! 🎉🚌🥰 @VisionZeroYVR @MovementYVR @OneCityVan
- Double deckers with 112 passengers regularly slip by all these cars on Highway 99's bus lanes. The lanes cost @TranBC almost nothing to build and they provide reliable travel for tens of thousands of people. We're calling on BC to build even more! Hwy 91 is begging for them!
00:00 - One of North America's foremost urban planners endorses the council motion on bus lanes. Thank you so much, @BrentToderianReplying to @BrentToderianI submitted a letter to Vancouver City Council for their consideration tomorrow on the motion regarding bus-only lanes in Vancouver. Here it is — quick and simple, but really important.
- American transport enthusiast visits Vancouver, you'll never guess what happens next! (He calls for more buses because of extreme overcrowding) (Maybe you guessed that)
- In moments like these, you see how much heavy lifting our bus network actually does. It would only take 2 buses to clear that entire crowd. Buses are crucial, moving 100,000s of people. It's well past time for all-day bus lanes on major streets, like they have in other regions.
- Downtown buses should not have to detour for an event that happens dozens of times a year. They should be protected with bus lanes so the cruise traffic doesn't affect them. If the cruises bring in so much money, we can spare a few bucks for transit priority, right?#RiderAlert R5 Hastings St to Burrard Station detour beginning at 8:00 AM. Regular route to Hastings and Richards, via Richards, Pender, Howe, resume regular route due to cruise ship traffic. ^CK
- What a sight to behold! @seattledot is putting in a RED bus lane on 1 of 2 lanes on Rainier! They say 8000 riders/weekday justifies this. (comparable YVR routes in next tweet) We wan this in YVR! We're bringing an expert from Seattle to tell us how:We're extending the Rainier Ave S bus-only lanes to make one of @KingCountyMetro's most popular routes more reliable.

movement.s1.yapla.comRoom to Move, Room to Grow: How Other Cities Expanded Street CapacityHow did cities like Seattle and Boston get so many bus lanes? - Every single transit rider is a sidewalk user. In fact, when it's too dodgy to drive, some choose to switch to transit. Why, then, are sidewalks treated like a luxury? Why do we only get a clear sidewalk if every single home pulls their weight? [thread] #bcstorm
- We want all Vancouverites to have a smooth commute like this 😘 especially South Van, which has the highest rates of transit usage in Western Canada @MikeKlassen @KenSimCity @LisaDominato @rebeccaleebligh @sarahkirby_yung @PeterMeiszner @LennyNanZhou @BrianVMontague
