I just responded to your question of the week:
“Should bus service be reduced across the Lower Mainland to save money?”
I voted no because Surrey is growing at such an incredible rate, it doesn’t make any sense.
I know it takes a lot of money to do it. When they say the Lower Mainland, south of the Fraser is still far behind the rest of the pack.
I am retired, but for 34 years I was unable to use transit, as some of my shifts would not allow it and – if I could – a 20-minute drive would take over an hour.
As far as fare evaders go, put the tickets into the hands of a collection agency and those who do work will pay, as I am sure their credit rating is far more important than the cost of a free ride.
