I am a student who cannot get to class, due to full buses, even though a U-Pass for Translink is included in my tution.
Every semester Universities and Colleges pay vast amounts of money for discounted passes for students. I have pre-paid for this bus service, as well as many other students. Yet, I am not the only one who has to leave an hour earlier, or risk being late for class due to late or full buses.
The 323 Newton/Surrey Central buses are always full or packed to the max. Translink needs to see how many people are using this service, and are unhappy about this service to lead to any kind of change.
Translink is the main transportation service for the lower mainland. In 2017 there were just over 400 million passengers. These are all people paying for this service, myself included.
Not just students are monthly pass holders, there are those working to make a living, those unable to drive, or those who want to reduce gas emissions. This is a service that should not only be available to the community, but have sufficient and timely service.
Please sign if you want to see more 323 buses, and agree that it is a necessity for the community.
Also please share with friends and family to support.
