From the Get OnBoard BC website:
Tired of being passed up? Tired of having to wait for busses that arrive completely full? Frustrated with the lack of service options?
On an average day, there are hundreds of thousands of trips daily in Metro Vancouver on a wide variety of transportation options. Whether you take the Expo Line from King George to Waterfront, the 99 B-Line from Commercial to UBC, the SeaBus from Lonsdale Quay to Downtown Vancouver, ride a bike down 41st Avenue, or drive your vehicle over the Port Mann Bridge every morning, in some way shape or form, you use Vancouver’s extensive transportation network. However, of all these options, public transit infrastructure lacks three key things: the ability to handle current capacity, lack of service options to rural and suburban areas, and sustainable funding to address these issues.
That’s where Get OnBoard comes in.
Get OnBoard BC is a partnership-driven coalition of residents, students, workers, businesses and academics who all believe in a better future for Metro Vancouver’s public transit infrastructure. Get On Board is not a political organization, but exists to push for changes at the municipal, provincial and federal levels to ensure that public transit can adequately support the region’s demographic growth.
Are you OnBoard?
