If you take public transit, you'll recognize the all too familiar Translink bus whizzing by on the cover of Megaphone #132. In this issue we look at the public transit troubles facing the Lower Mainland like overcrowded buses and trains, a lack of additional revenue sources to expand service, and a looming referendum that could pit transit users against drivers for scarce provincial dollars.
Also in this issue: Street nurse Bonnie Fournier is remembered as the "mom of the Downtown Eastside" for protecting and befriending survival sex workers in the 1990s; an illicit drinkers home brew co-op asks for donated bottles to provide users with safer beverages; vendor Bob takes readers through a day in the life of selling Megaphone; horoscopes; arts listings; and much more!
