Taking the #Cowichan Valley Commuter to #Victoria & back is going to cost you $20 a day.
It only runs in the early morning & evening. It runs 1.5 hours before school starts - no good for parents.
25k cars drive the Malahat per day. This is a policy failure. 1/ #bcpoli #Transit

For the vast majority of people, a car is the only option to get between #Cowichan and #Victoria. This is one example of what is clear for many communities: transit is neither affordable nor accessible for many British Columbians. 2/ #bcpoli #PublicTransit
Premier @jjhorgan told BCers to use BC’s “sophisticated public transit systems, if (gas) prices become too unaffordable in the short-term.”
I asked Minister of Transportation @Rob_Fleming if he considers the cost of the #Cowichan Valley Commuter bus to be affordable? 3/ #bcpoli

.@Rob_Fleming did not answer my question. I asked again if he would invest to create truly affordable, accessible and frequent transit between #Cowichan and #Victoria. Again no answer. 4/ #bcpoli #PublicTransit
Transportation isn’t just about affordability, though. It’s about reliability. It’s about consistency. It’s about quality of life. It’s about #ClimateChange.
And yet the @bcndp budget did not make the transformative investment necessary for our #PublicTransit system. 5/5 #bcpoli
