View Royal HandyDART survey

We received an update from Angela Hanes about BC Transit’s somewhat contentious plan to build a HandyDART facility – read “maintenance depot – beside Craigflower Creek.

Many of you may have received a big glossy flyer in the past week showing project updates and the call to respond to a survey. As always, you need to be heard! Here is the link to the survey;

This is BC Transit consulting with the community. They mention the facility will support, “…a fully-electric fleet of vehicles.” While there have been announcements about the feds helping them buy 10 electric buses for our region, they seem to only show diesel vehicles in their fleet. BC Transit says all electric by 2040. We can hope they switch the small vehicles first, but you know this will happen as existing stock reaches end of service life.
