A local advocacy group is hosting a forum this weekend to discuss ideas to maker public transit better in Burnaby.
The Deer Lake Environmental Group is horganizing a free presentation by the non-profit organization Denis Agar of Movement, which aims to improve public transit throughout Metro Vancouver.
"Today, when our urban leaders propose changes to the transportation system, they primarily hear complaints from a small group of people who know how to work the system and want to maintain the status quo," the Denis Agar Movement's website states.
"Even if that urban leader wants to improve transit, they can come to feel that their hands are tied because of the backlash from that small group.
"When riders have a shared vision and a shared voice, leaders will quickly become empowered to start prioritizing transit riders."
The event is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 2, 4 p.m. at Deer Lake United Church — located at 5135 Sperling Ave.
