The government merely has to raise PST to 7.5% in the next budget, and Translink's funding problems are solved (along with multiple other transportation issues across the Province, including bus service along Highway 16.)
I know a number of people who voted against the transit sales tax simply and philosophically because a regional tax like that is the wrong way to go.
