Better Transit YYJ

Transit should be fast, frequent, and reliable.

Help make that future happen.

Transit service in Victoria is not keeping up.

Graph showing the percentage increase of service levels versus population growth, using 2012-2013 as a baseline. While population has steadily increased to 22.8% over 2012 levels by 2024, service hour growth has stagnated. Service hours were at 7.7% over baseline in 2019, down to 6.2% by 2023, and only at 12.2% by 2024.

Our buses are slow, and getting slower.

On some corridors, transit carries over 50% of the people using a fraction of the space of other vehicles. Despite this, buses are stuck in congestion, with minimal priority over personal vehicles.

Let’s make transit a priority.

Making transit useful doesn’t require a train. Cheaper investments in bus lanes, signal priority and other infrastructure can make buses faster and more reliable.

We need fewer plans and more action.

Adding a bus lane should not be a lengthy mega-project that takes years to implement. We can give transit the space and resources it needs in a matter of months, and improvements should happen across the whole bus network — not just a few select corridors.
