Slide 5: text reads: C is for Cars suck. They make communities: more dangerous, less healthy (physically and mentally), louder, uglier, less social. A large cartoon letter C appears alongside the text. A large cartoon letter C appears at the top. An image of a car with the universal prohibition sign over it is below.
Slide 6: text reads: Cars are expensive. Did you know? An 8km Fraser Valley Highway expansion cost 76 times more than the cost of a year of fare-free transit in the Victoria region. A cartoon letter C appears at the top. An image of a busy highway with exaggerated "just one more lane bro" text appears below.
Slide 7: An image of the three smiling cartoon letters on the hill. They each have a speech bubble over top. The letter A reads "tax the rich", the letter B reads "Dream big!" and the letter C reads "Remember: cars suck!". Below the image text reads: Join us to help make our dreams for fare-free and excellent transit come true! Below that are the logos for Common Horizon and Vic Transit Riders Union.
Huge thanks to @justin_steinburg1 for the inspo & design. #yyj #transit #farefreebc
Slide 1: text reads: excellent fare-free transit sounds nice, but isn't it unrealistically expensive? Nope! It's as simple as. Below, a cartoon image of the letters A, B, and C with smiling faces appear atop a hill. The logos for Common Horizon and Vic Transit Riders Union below.
Slide 2: text reads: A is for taxation. It's time to tax the rich. The rich are getting richer while more Canadians struggle. Canada's 40 richest billionaires grew their wealth by nearly $95 billion dollars last year. A large cartoon letter A appears next to the text.
Slide 3: text reads: Did you know? If we stopped the wealthy from dodging taxes via tax havens, we would generate enough money to pay for free transit fares across the country. The wealthiest 1% in Canada pay less in taxes than the average Canadian (As a percentage of income). Below, an image of Jim Pattison alongside an alert box that reads: It would take a cashier at Save-On-Foods working minimum wage full time for 366,300 years to earn Jim Pattison’s net worth ($12 billion)
Slide 4: text reads: B is for Better imagination. Dreaming of a better future is the first step to making it come true. In a thought bubble below, text reads: Vienna dreamt up affordable social housing and made it a reality by taxing millionaires. Rent there is now half of that in similar cities. A large cartoon letter B accompanies the text above and and image of the rooftops in Vienna below.
People often ask us how we expect to fund fare-free public transit. The answer is as simple as A-B-C, really, and we've teamed up with @chcvictoriabc to share it with you all!
Next time someone asks you, just remember: TAX the rich! dream BIG! CARS suck! #yyj #transit #farefreebc

How much will this cost in overtime and bus slowdowns? Has fare compliance dropped after the recent increase? We should be making the bus easier to take, not harder. #FareFreeBC #vtru www.bctransit.com/bc-transit-l...
Fare free and excellent transit! #FareFreeBC #VTRU
