Meanwhile, TransLink ridership is still down, services still cut back, and LRT expansion slowly approaching where it was supposed to be a decade ago. Busses still have the “Transit of the year 1998” stickers from back when everything was run by BC Transit.

I'm curious what the ridership projections/goals were from 10 years ago, even if we are back at 2016 levels of ridership today, as seen here:

Remote work definitely changed commuting patterns drastically in cities, so it's debatable how well pre- and post-pandemic stats can be compared.
