Community Transit

Thank you to everyone who joined us for last years Abbotsford International Air show and a big thank you to the folks at the Abbotsford International Air show society, especially Kate Witoszkin for all her tremendous help.

We are pleased to announce that once again we will be providing service from Vancouver to the 2009 Abbotsford International Airshow. We are also excited about our relationship this year with support from our friends at Big Bus (www.bigbus.ca). While visiting Vancouver, experience the city with the only open-top sightseeing company, and go big, go topless, go Big Bus!

We will operate special Airshow return transportation service departing downtown Vancouver, from Waterfront Station and the Century Plaza Hotel (click HERE for a map) express to the Abbotsford International Airshow grounds at the Abbotsford International Airport. Your bus ticket also gets you into the show with your express entry Airshow ticket & run-way seating included. Service will be offered for the August 8th and 9th shows only (no Friday service is available).

Ticket prices are $60.00 for adults and $55.00 for children and include run-way seating. Please click HERE to be taken to our web store and process your purchase securely using PayPal.

Seats sell out quickly, so we are proud to provide a larger bus this year. Email us with your date of attendance, then purchase your seats today to avoid disappointment, and experience priority seating when boarding. Stand-by seating cannot be guaranteed. Email your reservation to getransit@netscape.net today!

Please note, we are not able to offer refunds once tickets have been purchased. Seating is first-come, first-served and can only be reserved with your online purchase. Please print your purchase confirmation and show it to the driver for your express boarding. Customers will be notified of sell-out and over-bookings as soon as possible. In these exclusive cases, refunds will be issued.

While Community Transit strives to provide superior and innovative transportation solutions to everyone in the Lower Mainland, service will be delivered on a demand basis, and may be canceled without prior notice. Community Transit, Golden Ears Transit, Golden Ears Community Transit Bus Company, Parker County Area Transit & PojoBus reserves the right to cancel, withdraw, suspend or significantly reduce services as they deem fit without notice, and assumes no responsibility otherwise.

Recently, Kevin Falcon of the Ministry of Transportation has announced that TransLink (the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority) will be expanding services into the Fraser Valley. There is great speculation and concern being raised by this new information, pertaining to service levels; will there be more than currently offered by BC Transit? as well as the new proposed vehicle fuel tax levy at the gas pumps; how high can we expect gas prices to become now in the valley?

TransLink has tried (unsuccessfully) to trumpet its success as a multi-modal transportation system. However, the reality is, and has been recently reported in the media, that TransLink is amassing a $200 million defecit. BC Transit, although under similar restraints in funding, is nearly half that.

Local valley governments are raising concerns as to TransLinks autonomy in areas of annexing and developing real estate for its own gains. Furthermore, as members of TransLink, all communities must pay into the general funding system. However, money is distributed based solely on population numbers, not by service needs or customer demands.

It has been widely proven in other provinces in Canada, as well as throughout the United States, that this level of public transportation system (road, rail, transit, walking, cycling and infrastructure) cannot be maintained in an adequate level by this level of governance! Kevin Falcon is trying to create the 4th incarnation of provincially owned and mandated public transportation in this province in the last 100 years, by slowly absorbing all of BC Transit's systems into the new TransLink.

It's time we speak up and tell Kevin Falcon and Gordon Campbell that provincial and regional transportation monopolies are not the answer to the problems faced in this region of BC. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please speak with your local mayor & government, councillors, MLA's, Gordon Campbell and Kevin Falcon.

Golden Ears Transit's mission:

"To provide transit services where none currently exist, and work
with current transit service providers to augment existing services."
