Province-wide protests mark day of increase in B.C. disability benefits
[Image description: A photo of a white and green BC Transit bus driving along a wet road on an overcast day, leaving a spray of water in its wake. White and yellow font overlaid reads “Despite protests across the province, the B.C. Liberals have raised the price of bus passes for people with disabilities from $45/year to $624/year effective today- Sept 1st”. End of image description.]
I live here, and this is bad.
This blow will be devastating for so many disabled individuals and families- not just financially, but in regards to morale and well-being too.
Access to public transit should be a right, especially for disabled people who often have no other method of transport. Please sign the petition here!
