[van-announce] Bus Riders Fare Strike Tomorrow

[Bus Riders Union]

* Please Forward Widely*


Don't Pay for Bus Cuts, Don't Pay for Transit Racism, Don't Pay for Privatization

Join the Bus Riders Union 

Fare Strike 


On Friday, January 14 bus riders will be on Fare Strike. The Vancouver Bus Riders Union (BRU) has organized this Fare Strike in response to TransLink's fare increase that came into effect January 1. On Friday, teams of BRU organizers will be riding the buses and encouraging people not to pay their fares or show their passes. The BRU Fare Strike is an opportunity for thousands of bus riders to take organized and direct action against the fare increase and TransLink's agenda of privatization of public transit. Join us in sending a powerful message to TransLink that our communities are organized and prepared to fight tooth and nail to stop fare increases and cuts to bus service. We will not allow TransLink to privatize public transit on the backs of working class and marginalized communities!
