Social media reaction to the transit vote today.

FACEBOOK

Fabiola Anthony: "This is a clear message from the people of all these Cities that translink needs to be reformed or gone.
How will the mayors who authorized +5million on advertising be held accountable! They share no accountability for translink or these funds! SHAME!!!!!!"

David Ritcey: "Simple: Raise the PST by 0.5% and allocate the revenue to transportation improvements all across the Province. Who would say NO to better transit?"

Karen Verdun: "Translink is a business and should be run AS A BUSINESS! Why does Tranlink think it can stick a siphon hose in the voters wallets, every time they WANT something? They can't make what they HAVE work!"

 

TWITTER

Tim Barton: "@TriCityNews @MayorStewart @MikeEClay @GregMooredotca very disappointed, but not surprised. This will cost families more in gas & congestion"

Leanne Toderian: "Well Christy Clark govt is off the hook now isn't she? Big mistake 4 our future."

Port Coquitlam city councillor Brad West: "@TriCityNews biggest no vote in PoCo not a surprise. Residents had no confidence in Translink and felt not much in it for us."
