Transit coverage that rides the system
The Transit desk's first commitment is the obvious one: cover the network as a rider, from the platform, not from the press conference.
Transit stories tend to be written from announcements — funding secured, lines proposed, ribbons cut. The daily experience of the network lives somewhere else: on the platform, at the stop, in the gap between the schedule and the arrival. This desk starts there.
Announcement coverage will always be paired with the record: what was promised before, what was delivered, what changed. And service changes will be covered as what they are — news that alters thousands of routines at once.
Riders see the system before anyone else does. What you notice is a tip: tips@burrardbrief.ca.
