British Columbia needs a comprehensive transit system connecting all communities; one that is safe, affordable, sustainable and public. Transit is a right!
As an Okanagan Transit Alliance member, I agree completely. Weโre also seeing increasing grassroots support for real capital infrastructure investment (and a local Translink-style agency)
Very interesting but imagine if the energy spent on cooking up rail based hypothetical was spent on advocating for busses that could just start running next month.
Can we just build a half-assed intercity bus system first?
Lots of youth and students travel around the province by bus, for school, for work, for family. But, as these Rural BC Transit Tales tell, that's not necessarily easy or even possible. We need a comprehensive, affordable, public transit network throughout BC. Transit is a Right!

While many of us are still talking about better public transit in rural areas, remote communities and smaller centres of BC, The #okanagantransitalliance is out building and installing bus stop benches all around Kelowna...#transitisaright#bcwidebus#letsride
Among the most frequent impacts we hear about from the lack of rural and inter-community public transit in BC are difficulties in getting to and from medical and dental appointments. In much of rural and remote BC, buses are infrequent or non-existent. #bcpoli#transitisaright

Beautiful BC - if you can get there! People who live in rural and remote BC already know how inadequate the patchwork of mostly private transit operators is. Thanks to a BBC TV show, even more people know. That was a year ago - no change yet! #transitisaright#bcpoli
