I wrote a blog post about #SaveTheBus, mostly because I looked at my recent politics yammering and realized that I hadn't.

I should look into using Mastodon for comments. I've seen sites that do it, and it's a cool idea. Of course, I'd have to figure out how to shoehorn it into my static site generator, and I have no idea how moderating comments would work.

I had a quick chat with my MLA about Translink and #SaveTheBus (pinging @MovementYVR )

• There are talks happening behind the scenes.
• Transit is apparently something that is supposed to be handled municipally here. Elsewhere in the province, cities pay for hospitals, and the BC gov handles transit. It's the reverse in Metro Vancouver. That's why TransLink was established: so the local cities could get together and manage transit.

🚨 Langley’s transit system is on the brink 🚨

Without urgent funding, up to 50% of Translink bus routes could be cut, leaving riders stranded and traffic gridlocked.

@MovementYVR is fighting to protect riders.

I went to the #SaveTheBus rally this afternoon to show my support for transit. There was a good crowd, despite the rain. Metro Vancouver will be in serious trouble if the funding shortfall isn't addressed.

We can do it, eh! 💪

I called my MLA's office (for the first time!) to ask the government to address Translink's funding shortfall and left a voicemail. I got a call back, asking if I'd be available for an actual phone call in a few weeks. Awesome!

Wisconsin Policy Forum released a study on Thursday, March 30 which shows the Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) is facing a "fiscal cliff" in less than two years.
