BC Transit’s first electric buses to roll out in Victoria next year https://cheknews.ca/bc-transits-first-electric-buses-to-roll-out-in-victoria-next-year-1228229/ “Last year, the federal and provincial governments announced $395.5 million for BC Transit to buy 115 #electricbuses and install 134 chargers across the province.

Now, #BCTransit says it plans to add a total of 141 electric buses – including 125 heavy duty buses, 10 double decker buses, and six light duty buses”

Saw Nanaimo council member Paul Manly on the bus from the ferry to downtown Vancouver last night. Had a nice chat.

Proving again the best thing about Public Transit is the people you meet!

Cryptic (Cryllic?) Bus Routes

A few reflections in the window for #FensterFreitag #publicTransit #BCTransit #busLife

So I caught an early bus home to get back in time to deliver a class online -- weird post-pandemic world. And the driver just committed the cardinal sin of public transport. It left early! And not by a little... 4 minutes! People complain about late buses and yes that's bad, but nothing is worse than a bus that leaves early and people miss it simply because they were on time.
