If you were wondering who voted to bring #HandyDART in-house, who voted for contracting out (to a multinational corporation), and who abstained. Video www.youtube.com/live/_LTSMRQ... #vanpoli #bcpoli #bclab @[email protected]
TransLink’s board voted six in favour of continued contracting out, with three voting to bring #HandyDART service in-house. Split votes are really rare at the #TransLink board, which usually rubber stamps managements decisions. northdeltareporter.com/2025/12/03/t... #vanpoli #bclab #bcpoli

TransLink to consider taking HandyDart in house

TransLink said it will consider taking making HandyDart an in-house subsidiary after passengers complained Wednesday that the corporation running the service often leaves them waiting hours for a bus. The contract with American-based MVT Canadian Bus comes up for renewal in 2017, at which time TransLink will look at all options, said outgoing TransLink board chairman Barry Forbes. He said TransLink will consider the pleas of HandyDart passengers as part of a review of the system, which caters to people with disabilities, early next year.
