Transit for all! Stop the fare increase

Rally and March for Social Justice, Public Health and the Environment

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1 PM

Faced with increasing social and economic injustice, declining air quality
and mounting environmental crisis, the Bus Riders Union is organizing a
rally and march on September 22, 2007 to pressure all levels of government
to support a public transit system that promotes social justice, equity,
public health and environmental sustainability.

 *DEMANDS:*

    *Provincial Government:** Stop Gateway! Invest billions in public
