TransLink doing a great job carefully avoiding a cease-and-desist, as a "Proud supporter of the fan" in their football-themed bus stop safety reminder.

A proposal to remove more than a dozen bus stops along Hastings Street in Vancouver is drawing concern from some residents and outreach organizations in the Downtown Eastside, who say the changes could make it harder for vulnerable people to access essential services.
"[...] TransLink implemented a new methodology for measuring fare evasion in fall 2023, according to a report the following June, Integrated Action Plan to Target Fare Evasion Reduction.
The aim of the action plan is to reduce fare evasion by one percentage point, which the agency estimates could save $5 million a year.
Though it includes educational, public awareness, and other measures, the bulk of the initiative is enforcement, with TransLink launching a dedicated fare-evasion enforcement team with eight security officers.
Those eight transit security staff were expected to cost $648,000. It’s not immediately clear what additional expenses, if any, Transit Police expected from increased enforcement."
I sincerely doubt there's $5 million in fare evasion happening. #translink #vancouver #bc

Another great day reminding me that I do have a voice in my city, there's now some much needed adjustments to public transit that I advocated for in my neighbourhood!
Translink NI should open up their mothballed Lisburn-Antrim line for tourism using pedal-powered draisines. It'd be a legendary win.
