Re: (‘Bus Stop: Promised 8,500 extra transit hours cancelled,’ April 2):
As a Lower Mainland resident visiting Kamloops, I was incensed to read 8,500 hours of promised transit service was being withdrawn.
As your readers may be aware, Vancouver and the metro area are voting on whether to add a half per cent to the PST to bolster transit in the province’s most populated region.
I believe a PST hike must apply across the whole province, or not at all, and benefit citizens’ mobility wherever they may live, be it Vancouver, Kamloops or Prince George.
Transportation Minister Todd Stone and his shameful government need to take leadership on transit, make it a priority instead of an obligation and stop playing political football with this crucial element of infrastructure.
