๐Ÿ‘‰The B.C. Green Party has pledged to make public transit free across the province if elected, aiming to reduce financial burdens, ease traffic, and lower carbon emissions. The plan also includes increasing regional bus services and doubling city buses within four years. However, critics, including transit researcher Nate Wallace, argue that while free transit could improve accessibility, it may not boost ridership or address significant funding gaps for TransLink. The Greens propose covering the $720 million cost by reallocating provincial funds, but concerns remain about the policyโ€™s feasibility and its ability to expand services effectively.โœ… . ๐”๐ง๐ฅ๐จ๐œ๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฆ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐Š๐š๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ก๐š, ๐š๐ง ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐-๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐Ž๐ง๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐จ. ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ: +๐Ÿ (๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ•) ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”-๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“ ๐„๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ฅ: ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฃ@๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐œ๐š๐ง๐š๐๐ข๐š๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ž.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ @manojkaratha_realtor . . #BCGreens #PublicTransit #FreeTransit #SustainableTransport #BCPolitics #TransLink #ClimateAction #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

๐Ÿ‘‰Following a school bus crash near Lac La Hache that left over a dozen hospitalized, BC Premier David Eby announced the government will consider updated seatbelt regulations for school buses. The crash involved students and staff from 100 Mile Elementary and Horse Lake Elementary. BC Emergency Health Services treated 36 people at the scene, with 14 transported to hospitals. Eby expressed surprise at the lack of mandatory seatbelts on school buses and pledged to work with federal authorities on the issue. While Transport Canada mandates seatbelts on most vehicles, they are not required on school buses, citing both potential benefits and challenges.โœ… . ๐€๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ž ๐‰๐จ๐ฒ ๐“๐š๐ฑ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ @taxesatjoy @augustine.joy_ ๐™Ž๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™™๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™Ž๐™ช๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ ๐™‰๐™š๐™ฌ๐™˜๐™ค๐™ข๐™š๐™ง๐™จ ๐˜ผ๐™จ๐™จ๐™ž๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™š ๐˜ฝ๐™ช๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™š๐™จ๐™จ ๐™๐™–๐™ญ ๐™จ๐™ค๐™ก๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ ๐™Ž๐™ข๐™–๐™ก๐™ก ๐˜ฝ๐™ช๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™š๐™จ๐™จ ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ง๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ ๐˜ผ๐™ช๐™™๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™๐™š๐™ฅ๐™ง๐™š๐™จ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ +๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ— ๐ญ๐š๐ฑ๐ž๐ฌ๐š๐ญ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ@๐ ๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ฅ.๐œ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ.๐ญ๐š๐ฑ๐ž๐ฌ๐š๐ญ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ.๐œ๐š ๐’๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ž ๐ฅ๐จ๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: ๐€๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐‚๐š๐ง๐š๐๐š ๐ž๐ฑ๐œ๐ž๐ฉ๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ž๐›๐ž๐œ . . #SchoolBusSafety #BCNews #SeatbeltRegulations #DavidEby #TransportCanada #StudentSafety #BCPolitics #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
