If you were wondering who voted to bring #HandyDART in-house, who voted for contracting out (to a multinational corporation), and who abstained. Video www.youtube.com/live/_LTSMRQ... #vanpoli #bcpoli #bclab @bcfed.bsky.social

TransLink’s board voted six in favour of continued contracting out, with three voting to bring #HandyDART service in-house. Split votes are really rare at the #TransLink board, which usually rubber stamps managements decisions.
