People in Metro Vancouver are making more trips in a day and are more often choosing transit and cycling to get around.
The results are from the “trip diary survey” which draws data from over 22-thousand households.
The survey’s done every three to four years to get a ‘snapshot’ of a day of Metro Vancouver transportation.
Translink’s Drew Snider says there was a 17-per cent increase in the total number of trips taken on transit from 2008 to 2011.
The goal is to get 51-per cent of all trips to be made by transit, cycling or walking by the year 2040.
