Not to complain – $60.5 million for transportation infrastucture is better than nothing – but if the government was serious about getting people onto public transport and reducing greenhouse gases, the decimal point needs to be moved to the right.
I just returned from Beijing – OK, probably not the best model for reduced traffic congestion – where bus fare is 15 cents.
Fewer people in cars means fewer accidents/injuries, less pollution, reduced stress, etc.
Whatever happened to ‘Rail For The Valley?’ My grandfather had it back in the day.
I had the pleasure of living in Langley/South Surrey for 20 years and believe the quality of life there needs to be preserved.
I now ride the train to work in Melbourne, Australia every day. I have my morning coffee, read the paper. And I just can’t see myself going back to the frustration of driving into town.
