If the City of Vancouver was really concerned about the number of automobiles that drive on city streets, then it would advocate for better rapid transit south of the Fraser.  Commuters, especially from eastern areas like Aldergrove, Langley, Abbotsford, Chilliwack et al, have no choice but to take their cars as public transit is minimal to non-existent.

Rather than demanding the Broadway Rapid transit line be prioritized  (which replaces an existing bus system) - why don't we really get people out of their cars and onto transit. People who live south of the Fraser, which is growing faster than Vancouver, and will soon overtake Vancouver's population. 

Or are vested interests more concerned with toll revenue from bridges - which would surely plummet with viable south of the Fraser rapid transit. Makes you wonder...
