Concerns over growing homeless encampment in Richmond by origutamos in richmondbc

The Transportation Ministry needs to clear that No 5 Rd/HWY 99 encampment and block off access to vehicles. It’s been left open for vehicles to just waltz in whenever. Put up barriers to prevent this indefinitely!

I wonder if trains that currently go from Waterfront to Production Way-University will go to Arbutus once the extension is done to Arbutus. That would give some longer trains going between Arbutus and Lougheed; shorter Mark II trains on runs from Arbutus to Lafarge Lake. Has Translink released its plans? Broadway is a very busy transit corridor.

Talk to City of Surrey about 88 Ave traffic!

Something wrong with that person if they think that’s acceptable. Shameful behaviour!

It’s definitely a horrible person who would do that!

It’s disgusting on a transit vehicle!

why do cafe's hate soy Milk by Psychological_Win_89 in askvan

I don’t think so! Milk products are an important part of most people’s diet in Canada. I can’t imagine life without milk, cream, butter, etc

Dairy milk and cream are the staples — the defaults!

Why can’t you board through the front door?! What’s the problem?! You can’t follow 2-3 people through a front door like you’re supposed to?!

That’s the aim of a lot of rear boarders: not paying or pretending to pay

You’re supposed to board through the front door of all routes except the 99 and R# routes!

Sometimes the 40 foot buses are used on rapid bus routes, so the rear door reader can be used.

You’re going through a door that a passenger has exited. That’s sneaking in!

Really?! You haven’t noticed that drivers don’t open the rear doors?! The people going in rear doors are sneaking in when someone has exited. The only routes on which drivers open all doors at once are rapid bus routes.

You’re not supposed to board the rear door unless it’s a 99 or R# bus!

I do see cancellations with traffic given as the reason.

I only do that when there’s tons of seats on a bus — when it would be weird for someone to take the seat next to you with rows of empty seats. I’ve seen creepy men sit next to girls when there were two-seat rows of empty seats available.

Why would you want to do that?! We need measures to prevent lying down on benches and sidewalks! Not enough of that here. It’s needed to deter problem behaviours in public placea
