The October 2010 Buzzer is now on board all buses, SeaBus, SkyTrain, and West Coast Express!

This issue is super exciting—it focuses on the electronic fare card naming contest that we’ll be launching on Monday, October 12!

Read the Buzzer to find out how to enter, plus more details on the future electronic fare card. (You can also find out more through our electronic fare card project page, which includes detailed FAQs!)

You can also find out about our upcoming transportation fairs, and workshops for the Surrey Rapid Transit public consultation in October.

There’s also a short story about who won the Bus Stop Hop, and we’ve put in the wonderful story about Satveer, who helped save a HandyDART caller’s life!

Again, we are happy to have a cover from a local illustrator: this time it’s Mouki Butt. Good job Mouki!

And if you can’t get the Buzzer on the system, you can always read it in PDF form on our website. Visit our Buzzer PDF archives, or grab this direct link to the October issue PDF.

Remember to enter the FareCard contest too! You can win a free FareCard in every issue of the Buzzer: read the issue, then email in your info and the answer to the trivia question by Friday, October 29 at 9 a.m. — we’ll pick a winner from all the correct answers, and he or she will be notified by phone shortly after the draw.

Enjoy the latest Buzzer as always! Comments are welcome below.
