Last year when I got my Macbook I was unsure about ever covering it with stickers. It was right after Northern Voice and I noticed almost everyone there had their laptops covered in geeky yet rad stickers.
I waited this long - almost a year - but after my friend Linus gave me a [...]

Prepare to carry even more coins than before if you’re going to be riding the bus in the new year. Translink is increasing fares all around as of January 1… nice way to encourage Vancouverites to go green, eh?
TransLink is continuing to make major investments in our region’s public transit network to improve travel times, [...]

Cool trains, nifty buses running us all over town, happy little sea buses carting us over to the mountainous North Shore, why wouldn’t we have a TransitCamp in this town? I think for the most part though, the main issues raised at TransitCamp were more buses, more scheduled times, more access and more info is [...]

People have been trying to revolutionize the way get our Translink bus schedules for a while now because, let’s face it, they weren’t exactly cooking anything up themselves until recently.
Yesterday they announced the new “Next Bus” service, where you can get instant schedule information for your bus stop, straight to your mobile phone by [...]

Since the last two Miss604 Polls [1][2] were transit related, why not continue the theme.
In the news this morning is the subject of turnstiles at Skytrain stations. I don’t know about you but two things I always thought were pretty cool were a) the honor system on Skytrain and b) there’s no one driving [...]

I hope everyone around here remember to set their clocks back so they’re not unnecessarily early to any events this morning. Here’s a quick news roundup.

News1130 teases us with a headline [...]

I enjoy comparing our region’s transit options to other cities’ when it comes to fares and donuts in their stations. More than half the time I’m using the other systems as examples of what we should be doing but I think the latest developments in Boston have stopped me in my tracks.
The MBTA has launched [...]

The smell of roasted nuts and hot chocolate mixed with exhaust is what I would experience every morning at Harvard Square T station. Sweetness combined with mechanics mmmm good morning!. A friend of ours who just recently moved to Canada from England pointed something out on her blog:
One thing we have noticed, bus stations and [...]

With transportation and traffic congestion being a hot topic with Metro Vancouver commuters, Translink is preparing to launch a new site this November that aims to be an “all-in-one” source for getting around the region.
The website integrates bus, train and ferry schedules along with delays at YVR and the status at the Canada US border. [...]

Transit is a huge issue in Metro Vancouver. Commuting, bus times, delays, over crowding, and lack of routes really gets me down but it’s nice to sometimes find something good about being a bus rider in this region.
I made mention of the MyBus Facebook app in my DemoCamp post but I wanted to elaborate and [...]
