PAOV — On Tuesday, a 17-year-old boy was killed in an unprovoked attack on a Metro Vancouver bus. People across the province are demanding the government act to make public transit safer. Show your support by signing the petition now.

17-year-old Ethan Bespflug was on a BC translink bus in Surrey BC heading home and feared for his life, shortly after a worried text to his mom, Ethan was stabbed and killed on that bus.

This is just one, of many violent or deadly incidents on translink buses and this must stop. Public confidence in transit safety, particularly at night, has been shattered.

There is only 184 police officers to cover 79km of Skytrain and Canada line track, 1800 km2 of translink bus routes, 69km of Coast mountain bus lines, westcoast express, and seabus ferries. Transit police call these vicious incidents "Anomolies" which is not true, its a growing trend that needs to be stopped NOW!

Please join with me and sign this petition to improve the publics safety on Translink busses, skytrain train cars, coast mountain busses, Westcoast express and skytrains and skytrain stations.
