@DerekWilliams82 Hey Derek, Travis with Global News here. Any chance you can send me a quick email that I can respond to you at, or DM me here? Have a question about your experience on the Pattullo yesterday, thanks!
Transportation affects every aspect of our lives, where we live, how we connect with others, and whether we can access opportunities. Fast, frequent and free transit will shift how people move, reduce household costs, and enable a giant leap forward on meeting our climate goals. Not only will free transit save families thousands of dollars each year, it will also ease the growing congestion on our roads and improve safety and connectivity between communities.
The BC Greens propose:
- Free public transit, province-wide
- Hourly service on key regional routes
- Double the number of city buses within 4 years; triple within 8 years
Our full transit platform will be released later this fall, including policies for BC Ferries and inter-city rail.

Langley Township mayoral candidate Rich Coleman says the results don’t look great so far, but he’s not conceding just yet. Wants to see more results come in. @GlobalBC
A view from Highway 1 of the Flood Falls Trail wildfire near Hope. Still burning out of control in very steep terrain. At this point no threat to homes or infrastructure. Hot and windy out here today. @GlobalBC
Just a snippet of the security lines at YVR today. Some people we’ve spoken with say they’ve been in line for 2.5-3 hours so far. Definitely going to be some missed flights. @GlobalBC
Major congestion at YVR today. All the people you see here have are waiting to clear security. YVR says there’s a shortage of security screening staff. Give yourself lots of extra time if you’re flying today. @GlobalBC
Approx. 50 people displaced after a fire at a North Burnaby apartment building. Three to hospital after challenging rescue effort. Many wondering if they’ll be allowed back in to their homes. Details on @GlobalBC at 6.
