  2. "[...] 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

  7. Another great day reminding me that I do have a voice in my city, there's now some much needed adjustments to public transit that I advocated for in my neighbourhood!

  12. Gave my reasoning on why Translink should stop using X to the Board of Directors.

    It’s 3am in Australia and I’m kinda tired. Fortunately I was second to speak though.

    Hoping this simple change can be made.

  13. I have been given 5 minutes to speak to Translink Board of Directors about their use of X on March 25th. Yay.

    Problem I need to give a phone number, I’ll be in Australia and it will be 5am 😱

    All solvable but eek.

  14. 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).

  15. #TransLink taps into Canadian comic nostalgia with Captain Canuck Compass Cards

  21. #translink was all proud about "We've increased service on the 100" - just passed the bus doing the same run in front of us, and I now realize "increased frequency" is damn near every few minutes (at least during peak hours)

    God damn

  22. @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

  23. 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

  24. Everyone should go tell TransLink that they definitely need to run bus service to Golden Ears Park: translinklistens.ca/new-routes

  27. I’ve yet to experience the new Mark V trains, but am excited that they have started to roll into service here in Vancouver. #transit #translink thetyee.ca/News/2025/08/27/Wha

  28. Casually seeing realtime bus data +68 and another +30 on the #TransLink app on a route that only has two busses O_o

  29. The SkyTrain (subway/metro/tube in Metro Vancouver) exit closer to my house.
    An exit to a street, with some 10~15 degrees uphill... the stairs at the left end of the exit have 9 steps.. then 7.. then 5 then 4 then 3.. then nothing..
    a car in the middle of the photo gives in idea of how steep it is..

  30. Just received an email asking to provide feedback about a specific tram trip on the Gold Coast, and I'm pretty sure it's the one where I told an Authorised Officer that he should reconsider his life of harassing people who didn't pay the 50¢ fare. #Translink #Glink #GoldCoast
