However, the article says that there are operational restrictions, meaning, they can’t afford to program buses with every ‘team’ any more, since they’ve programmed more priority message codes. Again, what does it really matter if a bus is ‘cheering’ on any team? Is that really a necessary cost for a public company to make when fares are going up and Translink’s fiscal budget is falling off a cliff? I personally don't really need the help to cheer on the team but I do call out stupidity when I see it. In that sense I get the questions. What a dumb world we live in when they can't just update it, or it costs that much to change a digital sign. Holy that's criminally stupid. And they "thought it was to inclusive", notion is mentally stupid. The travesty, lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translink would need to ‘code’ every bus in their fleet from Surrey to Vancouver. And it’s Public money for Translink. Think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they "thought it was to inclusive", notion is mentally stupid. The travesty, lol It costs a lot to recode every bus in the entire fleet. How much public tax money are you wanting to spend to go from ‘Go Team Go’ to specifically code ‘Go Canucks/Lions/WhiteCaps/etc Go’ ? Just asking for Property tax homeowners and fuel tax car/truck drivers. People don’t think one nor two steps ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnstorm Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Well Mr. Pettersson, you said you wanted to win. Tonight would be a good time to demonstrate just how important winning really is to you. Time to put your money where your mouth is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not what I understand from 3 (2 current and 1 former) Translink employees I have asked today. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budgets are already stretched. Translink is begging for funding from the Mayor’s Council, to the Provincial Government and to the Federal Government.

Yes the buses used to say "Go Canucks Go" during the playoffs but that changed quite some time ago. Definitely the bubble playoffs and perhaps before that as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
