Landonover 2 years agoIs this like a robot advisor? How long should I wait for a response? It has been two years since Oceanside learned of my abuse.
I love abuse from BC Transit.

0 comment0Nickover 2 years agoAdd a new bus route that can take west shore residents directly to the ferry terminal and Victoria airport instead of transfer to #72 or 70.

What could be improved?
about 2 years agoCLOSED: This ideas has concluded.tlangeabout 2 years agoCommuter rail
The E&N train that Via Rail used to operate was a joke, but with density on the rise in Westshore, we need to build up that corridor into a multimodal transit network: electrified light rail (or regional commuter rail going north to Duncan) with two sets of rail tracks offering bidirectional frequent service at speeds that outmatch the highway commute, placed next to a paved bike path offering commuters and community members choice in how they get around.
0 comment0Blue Bus Fanover 2 years agoLangford to Sooke.
Should create a new route to for public and get still get between Langford and Sooke and allow the 61 to operate peak routing all days and seven days a week to connect Sooke and Downtown Victoria.
0 comment0Blue Bus Fanover 2 years agoRapidBus
Should use 60 ft buses with doors on both sides on bus rapid transit and with a different livery compared to regular fleet buses. The buses should standout compared to the regular fleet. Follow TransLink lead but introduce bus lanes that could go anywhere on street because the buses have doors on both sides.
0 comment0Ryanover 2 years agoReimplement the 76 (Uvic to Swartz Bay)
