blahaj rides public transit!

Did you ever notice there's no ads at 22nd Street station?? Huh. #SkyTrain

When you don’t support more active forms of #transportation like #publictransit and #cycling, this is the world we are supporting: #cars congesting much of the road. This is Marshall road clogged up from Sumas Way all the way to McKenzie road on a Wednesday afternoon. If you just add another lane for #singleoccupancy cars, you get the exact same issue: just another lane of #congestion only slightly shorter. But if you were instead to put in a lane for #buses and #cyclists, then we would have a new lane that actually moves people keep quickly than just another car lane. And when public #transit becomes faster and more reliable than cars, more people will pick transit over their cars, and that in turn also makes the road better for those who need to use cars for things like transporting items as they will have less congestion in their lanes from more people using the bus instead of a car for transporting people. Communities around BC are headed to #municipal #elections this fall, and if #Abbotsford wants to get out of its congestion issues, it’s time to vote for a #mayor and #council that will improve transit and other forms of active transportation that will get our roads moving quicker, like more #buslanes as well as brining the #Skytrain or another two-way passenger #rail service from Metro #Vancouver into Abbotsford. Let’s build transportation in this city that’s better designed to move people around #town, not one to move the car companies’ profits.

one good thing about commuting an off-peak hours.. one can use the laptop on the #SkyTrain
I don't like the name of the greater #Vancouver #metro system because:
• for some reason they don't always apply it to the "Canada Line"
> sure they use other trains and technology, but who cares?
• Is not all elevated.. on even the first line open.

Photos of #trafficlights and the #skytrain in #newwestminster today. Was in the car in between destinations so I didn’t get to take any #photos while outside, but this was the best I got from the car. #lowermainland #ShotoniPhone
