Denis Agar

I don't know which way it's up.

But joining me now to talk a little bit about making these election promises is Denis Agar, Executive Director of Movement, which represents Metro Vancouver Transit Riders.

Dennis, thank you so much for your time.

My pleasure.

But like I say, this is self-enforcing in a certain kind of way, because if there's another provincial election in four years or maybe less, whoever is elected is going to have to face the people of Surrey-Newton and say, hey, I made progress on this project, or they'll have to say, I'm sorry I lied to you.

And so I think that will just be a really awkward conversation if they don't follow through.

We are speaking to Denis Agar, Executive Director of Movement Metro Vancouver Transit Riders.

Dennis, we've been spending time talking about, of course, the proposed Surrey-Newton SkyTrain, which both parties have now promised within minutes of each other today, just days before an election.

So how will the provincial parties fund transit? Both the BC Conservatives and the BC NDP have ruled out a vehicle levy to fund public transit in Metro Vancouver.

Here to talk more transit is Denis Agar, executive director of Movement Metro Vancouver Transit Riders.

Welcome to the show, Denis.

Good afternoon.

Thank you so munich, much, Dennis.

I really appreciate it.

That's Denis Agar, executive director of Movement for Metro Vancouver Transit Riders talking about a transit plan in Metro Vancouver and how, uh, he hasn't really seen one from any of the provincial parties so far.
