It's pretty fucked up that someone accused of sexual misconduct has their full name, face, address, blood type, and shoe size plastered on all media outlets throughout the world and are still called rapists even if they were on the moon when the misconduct occurred and the victim announces to the world that the accused did not do it.

Kind of hard to make that case when you've already apologised to any potential victims, no?

Translink already said they're suspending the campaign until further notice (read : put it to bed)

Completely unrelated, I wonder if James Earl Jones is available on short notice to do impromptu voicework.

For that matter, if famous African-American actor, Credit-card pitchmen is their thing, then Samuel L. Jackson could also be worth a shout:

"I've had it with these m******uckin' fare-jumpers on this m******uckin' skytrain.
YES THEY DESERVED TO BE ARRESTED AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HEEEELLLL!!!!!

Also, don't forget to tap your card and not your wallet.
Enjoy your ride"

They might as well go big or go home.

I'd love get a hold of all of the Morgan Freeman audio recordings to enjoy while I look at my Trump-Kim commemorative coin.

No actually, it's Capital One credit card.

Like the man says,.....

"I'm the other guy … the other one. 'What's in your wallet? (guy)' "

Hilarious, but he really went to town on that anchor who confused him for Laurence Fishburne.

The joke is a bit dated now but I still want Cave Johnson announcements.

I still find it moderately unfair that the "guilty until proven Innocent" mantra has become such a powerful tool. Even if he ends up clean and still sues for defamation his career is ruined. What a sad way to watch your life fall apart.

David Bowie had perfect timing for death...

Good lord could you imagine Seth Rogen doing the voice overs.

HUEHUEHUE the next stop is Meh-meh-metrotown huehehe

I would enjoy hearing SLJ's voice saying "stop blocking the door, you fat-ass motherfucker" when the door of the skytrain gets blocked.

Those dreary morning commutes would definitely be vastly more entertaining.

I knew it was some competing card to Visa.

Remember that TransLink has kids and seniors riding it too... so we gotta bleep it.

"Attention passengers, this situation requires everybody moving to the back of the f**king bus."
"What part of "move to the back of the f**king bus" did you not understand?!"
"I'm sorry, I said move yo muthaf***king asses to the BACK of the muthaf**king bus!!!"

The Buzzer Blog - Only a few days left to help design the four new B-Line routes

TransLink is rolling out four new B-Line bus routes across 12 Metro Vancouver communities by the end of next year.

When launched, these B-Line routes will bring frequent, reliable service and shorter travel times within walking distance of a whopping 200,000 residents! Now’s the time to help shape these B-Line routes, and make sure they meet your community’s needs. The consultation period has been underway since April and will be closing on May 31.

It digs into details (where stops are proposed being a big one) so it's worth taking the time to fill it out.

Of interest -
The REM project in Montreal did not use red as its colour (even though it follows the same route as Drapeau's 1961 proposed Red Line) because

However, we came up against several issues in connection with the future signage. For instance, red is a colour frequently used for emergency exits, or to indicate danger or things that are not permitted.

Maybe the same applied to consideration of the line colour for Canada Line.

Come on, everyone else around the world could figure it out.

How are they gonna manage the route splitting of the 410 and 401 and the route that is gonna complement the 403 and go to Steveston if we don't have a proper bus loop at Richmond-Brighouse? Is there any new progress at the Richmond-Brighouse bus loop or is it still a roughly paved road with a fence around it?

[Dengler Avenue]

Oh is translink working on that? I've always thought that they would just have the routes heading south terminate at Bay 4 on Saba Road (although people have complained about the noise from the buses before), and the ones heading north end at Bay 2 (or 3) then park on Saba Road. As an interim solution, at least.
