‘Public’ essential in Evergreen equation

BURNABY – The provincial Ministry of Transportation has announced it is once again moving ahead with plans for the Evergreen rapid transit line connecting Coquitlam to Vancouver via Port Moody and Burnaby. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) announced this week calls for private partner applicants "capable of designing, building, and financing the project".

The RFQ states that the operation and maintenance of the new line will become part of the publicly-run SkyTrain system.
