JOIN THE PUSH FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT ACROSS BC!

Team fundraiser

Sharon Kravitz and Maryann Abbs are organizing this fundraiser.

Get on board and help campaign for a safe, sustainable, affordable BC-wide public transit system. Transit is a right - not just for those of us who live in large urban areas - but for all. Only a publicly owned and operated system can guarantee that safe and accessible inter-city buses will link to rural and remote BC communities. The current patchwork of private bus companies simply doesn't work. For private companies buses are a business but for citizens they are a service that should connect us all. BC Transit already serves 130 communities across BC – we just want the province to expand that service to all BC communities.

We need an affordable, reliable public bus system to access medical appointments, jobs, schools, family visits and more. The network should be integrated with other modes of sustainable transit like BC Ferries and intra-provincial rail. The climate crisis demands that we change the way we travel. A forward-looking public bus network means fewer cars and the use of sustainable technology will help us reduce our carbon footprint and meet our climate targets.

Let’s Ride! Make Public Transit BC Wide is an ad-hoc group of volunteers from across the province. Our supporters include seniors, students, people in remote and rural areas, indigenous communities, climate change activists, health care workers and more. Help us push for a public transit system for the future NOW. We need your support in getting the message out and for that we need funds! Here’s how we will use your donations:
