[Resist!ca]

Vancouver - "On January 14th, over 5000 bus riders in Greater Vancouver engaged in collective direct action in the Bus Riders Union's first-ever fare strike. The Bus Riders Union called the fare strike to protest TransLink's latest fare increase. The fare increase will steal $41 million from the pockets of bus riders over the next three years. TransLink is raising bus riders' fares while pouring money into the privatized RAV line that will benefit corporate interests at the expense of bus riders."
