Northern #Ireland #Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has praised #Translink for providing public transport services during Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann. More than 1.7 million journeys were made across the bus and rail network between 2 and 9 August, an increase of over 620,000 on the same period last year. Kimmins said the figures reflected extensive planning and coordination between organisations involved in #transport, traffic management and road operations. She also welcomed the number of people choosing public transport, alongside walking, wheeling and cycling. The record usage, she said, demonstrated public transport’s ability to move large numbers of people safely and efficiently while supporting the city centre and helping visitors and residents access events.

Does anyone know: is the tunnelling machine digging the Broadway extension going to be recovered or left in the ground? #TransLink #yvr

"[...] TransLink implemented a new methodology for measuring fare evasion in fall 2023, according to a report the following June, Integrated Action Plan to Target Fare Evasion Reduction.
The aim of the action plan is to reduce fare evasion by one percentage point, which the agency estimates could save $5 million a year.
Though it includes educational, public awareness, and other measures, the bulk of the initiative is enforcement, with TransLink launching a dedicated fare-evasion enforcement team with eight security officers.
Those eight transit security staff were expected to cost $648,000. It’s not immediately clear what additional expenses, if any, Transit Police expected from increased enforcement."
I sincerely doubt there's $5 million in fare evasion happening. #translink #vancouver #bc

Since it’s Saint Patrick's Day 🍀 🇮🇪: going through pictures taken in #Ireland in August 2024, travelling from #Dublin to #Belfast with the #IrishRail #Translink #Enterprise #InterCity. It’s a push-pull train. There’s an IÉ Class 201 diesel, and … (🥁) it’s got a bar-buffet style #DiningCar (sort of).

@villasbc how come there are few escalators that go DOWN at stations. Im not an invalid, but with a loaded rolly cart to carry my gear on the ferries this is a real pain.
And for the elevators … having to stop at the concourse to pay the fare gates, hence two elevators to the platform?
These designs could only have been done by short sheeting private companies under the PPP system that goverments often fall for. #CanadaLine I’m talkin’ about you. 2 trains per station? Morons. #Translink

How come Waterfront station does not have a bench for me to sit while waiting for someone?
Not even inside Starbucks, just a few inside Subway or A&W 😥
I kind of already imagine answers but come on #Vancouver #Translink
