Such as? Translink is funded by small fees from property taxes, your Hydro bill, some investments and fares. That's it. The only option Translink really has is to sell some of its land and the merits of that are highly debatable.

+ they have to hire security for late night buses since they are getting jammed packed full of people and have to skip some stops.. seriously? they cant just add more buses? WTF

Rumour has it that a bus costs about $100/hour to operate. A transit security guard makes $60K/year. Do the math.

The Evergreen Line has been in regional transit plans for over 20 years. It's about time the Tri-Cities got something.

If you live in the Valley, driving is of course better. But, you can easily get around Vancouver and Burnaby using transit.
