TransLink operates buses on routes with little or no ridership for social reasons and squanders vast amounts of money trying to please everyone, yet pleasing no one.
It offers deep discounted fares such as the U-Pass, while operating a premium light-metro system.
This causes much crowding of the transit system in strategic areas, discouraging transit customers who pay full fares; while at the same time starves TransLink of much-needed revenue.
Yet TransLink wants more taxpayers’ money to do more of the same; building more light-metro, operate more buses on questionable routes; and offer more deep discounted fares.
