On July 1, Translink will implement another 5% fare increase, making life for Metro Vancouverites even more expensive.
This new fare hike in July will add another $120 per family member to household expenses each year. The cost of living here is already the highest in Canada, and another increase this July will only deepen the financial strain on workers, families, and low‑income riders.
No one should be denied transit because they can’t afford it.
Metro Vancouver is one of the few regions in Canada without a discounted transit program for low‑income youth and working‑age adults. We’re calling on the provincial government to expand the BC Bus Pass program to include all low‑income people and to stop punishing riders with unjust fare hikes.
Send a letter to your MLA for a low-income transit (LIT) pass.
Email or meet with your provincial representative (MLA).
Attend our rally on July 1 from 12-1:30 pm at Metrotown Station.
