#WhatsTheLink: What is TransLink?
#WhatsTheLink: What is TransLink?
We have a new video for #WhatsTheLink!
“Probably SkyTrain.”
“Bus.”
“SkyTrain.”
“Oh, SkyTrain.”
Those are all correct, but TransLink’s mandate as Metro Vancouver’s transportation authority covers much more. In addition to public transit, we are also responsible for maintaining the Major Road Network including five bridges, developing the Regional Cycling Strategy and more!
Over the next couple of months, we’ll be rolling out one fact a week and sharing it with all of you here as part of #WhatsTheLink. We will also share this weekly fact on our Instagram, Twitter and Facebook channels as well as other blogs.
In our first week, we shared the fact TransLink manages 2,300 lane kilometres of road and profiled the Kingsway corridor on Miss 604, Vancity Buzz, and the Vancouver Observer.
Check back soon as we reveal more facts about #WhatsTheLink!

San Francisco’s Compass card is known as Clipper. Formally it was Translink…

That’s an interesting bit of information. I’m going to have to look into this more. Thanks!
@Robert: You don’t have to look too far – there is an old blog post covering the old TransLink card. http://buzzer.translink.ca/2009/09/sorry-thats-not-us-translinks-from-around-the-world/
Hey, you’re right! I thought I’d read most of the posts. The blog really is a wealth of history!
