Summary

Metro Vancouver mayors are once again going ‘cap in hand’ to ask for more taxpayer money for TransLink. The Mayors’ Council is asking all political parties to outline their funding plans for the transit body as fears continue over potential service cuts. Part of the plea is asking people to send letters to their political leaders asking for details. Right now, TransLink is funded by taxpayers through income tax, property tax, Metro Vancouver parking levies, BC Hydro surcharges and bus fares.
