The motion passed at the B.C. Chamber level, its promotion into the provincial sphere, however, was muted as the Translink authority was increasingly seen to be at odds with the wishes of the municipalities. So the old maxim still applies: be careful what you ask for because you might just get it . . . yet another unanswerable costly level of the public sector.
