ISAAC DANIEL — FREE PUBLIC TRANSIT: A BOLD IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME

I am running for Surrey Council to bring new leadership, practical ideas and decisions that put residents first.

As Chairperson of the Hospital Employees Union FHASSF Local, I bring experience in healthcare, management and technology.

Surrey is growing, traffic is worsening and families are paying more. We should make transit easier to use—not more expensive.

I want fare-free public transit seriously examined.

If fares provide only about one-third of TransLink's revenue, the real question is: how much do fares actually contribute after the costs of collecting them—fare gates, Compass systems, administration and enforcement—are deducted?

Let's publish that number and compare it with the benefits of more riders, fewer cars, less congestion and lower household costs.

I'm Isaac Daniel. Let's bring REAL CHANGE TO SURREY.
