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
