When I used to live in Richmond, it was a norm in decline over the years. Have Vancouverites lost this tradition completely???
It is a whole lot easier to thank the bus driver as you leave an empty bus than a crowded one. Especially if you are exiting by the rear doors like you are supposed to.

Yeah I say thanks if i'm leaving by the front doors but not by the rear doors. It's weird yelling across a bus full of people.

I generally ride the bus midday and it's not unusual for people to say thanks when leaving by the rear doors (and this would mostly be the 106 and 119, so not empty buses).
Looks like we'll never have an integrated provincial smartcard/ticket for transit.
Actually BC Transit is working with Translink and plan to have the App work on translink as well. The idea is to have an App that works on every transit system in BC.

Feb. 28, 2019: In response to the incredible demand for Compass Wristbands in December, which sold out in less than two hours, we're happy to announce that another batch of Adult wristbands are now on sale. Additional Concession wristbands will be available in the coming weeks.
I just want to use my Apple Watch to tap. That will be the easiest for me,
You can do this today, but you won't get the compass stored value discount and you can't use a monthly pass. I've done it several times when I forgot my compass card.
Opposition has focused on a number of issues: The terminus station was originally planned for a site next to a school, upsetting parents; parking spots would be removed in the commercial Ambleside neighbourhood, upsetting businesses; and portions of the route would remove a dedicated lane for the new buses, upsetting motorists.
When Mary-Ann Booth became mayor of West Vancouver last October, the issue of a B-Line bus route through the community seemed to be uncontroversial.
...
But just four months into her term, backlash has become so overwhelming that council seems likely on Monday to ask TransLink to end the new line just a block into West Vancouver, at the Park Royal mall.
...
In the neighbouring City of North Vancouver, Mayor Linda Buchanan can only lament how West Vancouver seems ready to pack it in.
"It will be disappointing if it doesn't go all the way through," she said.
I got a chuckle out of this:
Quote:
"The B-Line bus is a rude intruder with [greenhouse gases] and muddy boots. There are no B-Line buses in Shangri-La," wrote North Shore News columnist Paul Sullivan last week, echoing an opinion made by people at several meetings and protests — that the buses would be empty most of the time and merely add to carbon emissions.
