It's a free service and has to be staffed. I don't feel there's much wiggle room to complain about the operating hours lol

It is paid for with taxes, requesting more hours would be no different from requesting the government invest in anything else

Translink isn't Federal or Provincial Government. The only taxes that go towards them are the fuel taxes. That's not enough to cover what they need. Yes they get money from the federal govt sometimes, the last amount was to cover their ass for pandemic losses and help with the Broadway line

Right, I should have looked at closer at the article. It’s sponsored by Cadillac Fairview and translink.
