I am outraged that Translink has let 1500 people go but the Senior Executive Team and the Board have only shaved off 10% of their massive salaries. With further reductions to Bus, SkyTrain, West Coast Express no boat afloat, goodbye Seabus do we even need an executive them? Â We are paying the wrong heroes.

Viewpoint VancouverThe Sky’s the Limit for Kevin Desmond, CEO of North America’s Transit Ridership LeaderThere’s no two ways about it — TransLink, Metro Vancouver’s transit authority, is #1 in North America for year-over-year transit ridership growth.
