More Cost Effective to Operate
The Burnaby Mountain Gondola will cost less to run than the current fleet of diesel buses, saving taxpayers $35 million over a 30-year period, and 26 buses would be deployed to other communities in the region. Source: .
More reliable transit all year round
At peak hours, students can see up to four buses travel past them, doubling the length of their journey up and down the mountain. In winter snow storms, bus service can be halted altogether.
