Dear Editor,

It’s great news that the Township of Langley is looking into Bike Share programs.

I live in New Westminster, and have a Mobi bike pass for Vancouver.

I love the fact that I can hop on SkyTrain and get off anywhere west of Commercial Drive, grab a Mobi bike, and without having to wait for a bus, pedal to a destination five or 10 blocks away.

It is so efficient. And so green.

It would be so great to be able to take public transit out to the Langleys, grab a bike, and tour your communities.

Maybe every community doesn’t need to go with Mobi bike, but it is critical that the pass, purchased in one community, is valid throughout Metro Vancouver. Then you will see a much more significant buy-in.

Let’s get rolling!

Jim Fuller, New Westminster
