A transit advocate says if the province is serious about its climate goals, public transit should be more reliable than driving.
More snow than expected brought public transit in Victoria to a brief standstill.
“When there’s only a little bit of snow, you don’t expect the whole transit system to shut down,” said Eric Doherty, a member of the Better Transit Alliance for Greater Victoria. But with roads more slushy than snowy, walking appeared to be the more treacherous morning commute. However, it was even more trouble for those walking to a bus stop.Despite the relatively small accumulation, BC TransitDoherty is calling for better transit in the Capital Region, saying if the province is serious about its climate goals, transit should be more reliable than driving.
“If transit isn’t reliable, there’s no way that we’re going to get the thousands and thousands of people to stop driving and take transit.”Transportation contradictions popped up in Sooke and Nanaimo School Districts as well. Schools were open later than usual, but bus services were cancelled.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.
