This isn’t mismanagement. This is reality for every transit agency in Canada faced with bus prices that have nearly doubled since 2020, a gap in federal ZEBs funding, and little provincial support. Translink is the only transit agency that gets significant provincial from gas tax rebates.

This is only part of the story. A link at the bottom of the page directs you to their recent award of up to 107 electric buses to Solaris. Buying 25 diesel vs 107 electric is still a significant commitment towards zero emission transit. This is a slow down not a stop.

It’s a balance. If you don’t invest in clean transportation today, you are limiting your options for service improvement in the future.

Transit oriented development that also includes nearly 2 parking spots per unit, and the widening of a major corridor to accommodate the extra personal use vehicles. We are doing this wrong.
