This article is something I can relate too since I have been one of the many that is pushing for longer running hours for the buses and skytrains. I don’t know how many times I’ve been out and have had to find an alternate way home. Buses are supposed to be here for us and taxis these days are so pricey to take. Kevin Falcon is pushing to extend skytrains running hours “on the weekend”. One of the main reasons for this change to become in affect is over the new drunk driving laws. There suppose to be supporting a safe way of getting home, yet if the skytrains aren’t running there giving people an excuse to get into there cars after having some drinks. Currently no translink run 24 hours a day and we need to change that. To get the public involved “BC Restaurant and Foodservices Association and BarWatch, also has a Facebook Fan Page” so check it out! When all the translink lines stop running how do they expect those who are out for the night or getting home from a friends house to get home? For me living in Deep Cove the last bus from Phibbs Exchange is at 11:47 p.m. You don’t know how many times I have missed or have had to leave wherever I am early to catch it. I have no other choice but to call my mom or the worst, walk. I couldn’t be more thankful if they were to get the buses running later on the weekends. It's definitely a great idea to me and I’m 100% on board.
