I am so sick and tired of the fucking games. It’s all smoke and mirrors. None of them and I mean none of them give two shits about anyone except themselves.
@DailyHiveVan About dam time. No more bs excuses for taking “3-5” days to refund money. Considering it seconds to take it. They can’t just refund it right away. Well now they can. Suck on them apples fucking bs refund policy’s of every company out there.
As i previously posted this guy will be joining my house with Trixy. I have book the appointment and I and will be picking him up in a few days. ATM he goes by Jean-Ralphio. I am leaning towards Gizmo or Jinx.
ATM he goes by Jean-Ralphio. However I would love suggestions for a new name. He will be joining Trixy and I very soon. I went and met him at his foster home and he was so talkative and playful and so soft.
Heading off to meet this fella. If all goes well he will be my newest addition to my home. Trixy will be happy she has a companion again. #Adoptacat#Adopt
Well things are starting to look up for me. Got my security license and my uniforms for the PNE. Got set up with a profile for Genesis security. Also got an email to do a typing test for dispatch for the new St. Paul’s Hospital.
Good morning folks. Well another night of no sleep. And here I thought the other night when I actually got some sleep I was back on track. Silly me tricks are for kids
I think it’s time we had a serious conversation about the management, financial accountability and long-term sustainability of TransLink.
Before TransLink was created in 1999, Metro Vancouver’s transit system was operated by BC Transit, a provincial Crown corporation. Interestingly, BC Transit was rated the number-one North American transit system in 1996 by the American Public Transit Association.
TransLink was created to give the region greater control over transportation planning and establish a more stable funding model. However, more than 25 years later, we are still dealing with significant funding shortfalls and repeated requests for additional government funding.
In 2025, TransLink reported approximately 396 million passenger boardings, yet its operating cost recovery was only 44.9%.
Meanwhile, seven senior executives collectively received approximately $3.1 million in reported annual compensation, including salaries, other compensation, taxable benefits and employer pension contributions.
I’m not suggesting public transit should operate without government subsidies. Public transportation is an essential public service. But taxpayers have every right to ask questions.
Where is the accountability for the money being spent? Are administrative and executive costs proportionate to the services being delivered? Are we getting sufficient value for our tax dollars? And why does an organization with substantial taxation powers continue to face such significant structural funding problems?
We should be able to have an honest discussion about whether the current governance and management structure is delivering the value that Metro Vancouver residents deserve.
Public transit belongs to the public. Accountability should come with that responsibility.
Historical records show that BC Transit received a major North American service-quality distinction, and that TransLink was created partly to solve a funding and planning problem.
All I ever see on your guys’s X page is problem after problem after problem after problem. Well, I can appreciate that. The system is an ageing system, and that money has been poured into upgrading the trains themselves, the tracks, etc. in my personal opinion translate waste so much money yet cries foul because they don’t have enough money. Maybe it’s time to rethink how much you’re paying your executives. Too many hands in the cookie jar. Translink was created. In part to solve a funding and planning problem. And you can’t even do that. So can you tell me what Translink is going to do to possibly trim the fat? Or point me in the direction of someone that I could contact. Thank you for listening. #DoBetter #Translink #Vancouver #Vancouvermayor @CTVVancouver@DailyHiveVan@TransLink this needs to be addressed.
