	Vancouver Board of Trade - Governance of TransLink
		If TransLink does not step up to and act on that broader mandate, then it should be recognized as a transit authority only and another mechanism should be found to address the other serious regional transportation challenges that are already having strong negative effects on the regional economy.
		The Vancouver Board of Trade believes that the future governance of TransLink should be based upon the model used by the Vancouver International Airport Authority or that used by the Vancouver Port Corporation, or a hybrid.
		The purpose of the Special Committee on Vancouver International Airport is to suggest community-based improvements to the governance structure and processes of the Authority in advance of the legislation to be introduced by the Minister of Transport.

		Exact change is needed to ride TransLink buses: C$2 for regular adult fares within Vancouver or C$3-C$4 for weekday trips to the suburbs, including the SeaBus to the North Shore.

	Amber Alerts on Translink Buses \| Urban Vancouver (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Walking briskly home to turn on the radio to CKWX, I hear my first ever British Columbia Amber Alert, and it sounds like a 3-month-old girl was abducted by her father (and possibly non-custodial mother) and they are in the Lower Mainland area.
		Whoever thought of having Amber Alert flash on TransLink buses, though, give that person a promotion (if they didn't already get one), as this strikes me as an innovative use of digital traffic signs, which aren't prevalent in the Greater Vancouver area.
		Time passes and apparently some (all?) TransLink drivers announced it to their riders.

		While the PGE (now BC Rail) was certainly never intended as urban transit, the railway's North Vancouver to West Vancouver line was essentially just a passenger interurban gascar railway from its construction to the closure of the line in 1928.

	UTU: News
		VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Canadian Pacific Railway's (CPR) annual profit from the West Coast Express commuter rail service exceeds a "shocking" 1,000 per cent, TransLink chair Doug McCallum announced Friday (April 26) after winning a prolonged court battle in which the railway sought to keep the information from being made public, the Vancouver Sun reported.
		The Greater Vancouver regional transit authority said Friday that CPR pockets $4 -- about 90 per cent of the money collected on the sale of each ticket sold on the line -- and McCallum is asking federal Transport Minister David Collenette to allow TransLink to make a new, cheaper deal with the railway.
		TransLink calculates that CPR would cover all of its costs, and still earn at least a 100 per cent annual return on investment, if the annual track-use payment was $800,000.
