80% of Metro Vancouver bus routes are slower than 5 years ago: report

If you commute by bus in Metro Vancouver and it feels like your trips are getting longer, you’re not wrong.

TransLink released a new report showing that 80 per cent of the bus routes it operates have gotten slower than they were five years ago, “due in part to increased roadway congestion and lack of sufficient bus priority.”

That slowdown means longer transit times and waits, less reliable travel and increased overcrowding, says the report, noting it reduces the attractiveness of transit as a mode of transportation.

Just before we came on-air, I spoke with Daniel Freeman, senior manager of bus priority projects at Translink. Here’s our conversation.
