Don't have to be specific to BC per se, like the wild raspberry and blackberry bushes literally everywhere, but what's your fave from BC?

I just tried a Sunrise apple for the first time. It was amazing. I'm sad I only bought 2 from Langley Farm Market, I need to get more before they are gone. It was a perfect mix of sweet and tart, and crunchy.

I'm currently at 186/188 competed.

I know I have #123 to attempt, and I've scrolled through allllll the post in this sub to find the 1 I'm missing to make it 188.

Edit: per u/philosphorous they are working on a big update, with tracker, fan made levels, and more :D

Hey r/ICBC,

So i recently bought a car, and once i'm done the repairs on it, to make up for those cost (😥) I'm planning on doing gig delivery work a couple nights a week - think like uber eats, uniuni, etc. No passengers, just parcels/items.

Looking at ICBC coverage options I'm only finding the ride hailing option, or commercial, obviously as I'd be transporting 0 people, would this fall into commercial?

Also I just kept poking around on the site and found the Territory and rate class page and spotted "Delivery" rate class.

Would i only need to change my rate class? Or would I need additional insurance coverage?

Thank you!

Saw one of these buses in the wild today.

I think going with a high floor is a bit of a strange choice in this day and age. Yes there's a wheelchair lift but honestly I've but I've seen the fold out ramp of the low floor community busses used for more seniors with walkers and people that are disabled, but not needing a wheel chair.

Won't this really slow down the routes these busses are assigned to?

So the one thing that I will "fault" our transit for is the major lack of commuter rail.

WCE was acceptable for 95, but it's 2026 and we still only have a part time one directional heavy rail line.

Montreal and Toronto have several all day or at the very least daily including weekend services.

I know we're up against leasing the lines from cp/cn, but I'm sure just like go we can acquire our own rail or build some out.

I don't recall seeing anything in the 2050 planning for commuters other than sending the expo line to Langley.

The length of a city block heading east from the STN. New rectifier?

Hey!

So I'm looking at buying my first car in BC. I've owned vehicles in the past just not in BC.

As any of you from BC know, ICBC's estimator site is pointless because you a) need to already have a car with ICBC to access that tool, and b) need the VIN of the car you're looking at.

I have neither.

And to top it off, I'm looking at a JDM, so I'd really hate to buy the car only to find out the insurance is a small fortune that cost more than the damn car.

I'm looking at something like a 2009 Toyota PASSO or a 2007 toyota Ractis, or 2008 toyota bB

If anyone can give me some idea as to what they're paying for even for any make/model of JDM, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hey just wondering how long is reasonable to expect to hear back after applying for a SkyTrain related job?

Looking for anyone that's bought an imported JDM car.

Is there any dealer you'd avoid like the plague?

Nothing super exciting, managed to hop on a 4 car mark 2.5 that was running on the mline today.

As anyone who has even been through Columbia station knows, its a pretty lame station.

The few upsides to it, it has multiple exits leading to different streets - sadly kind of rare in the whole network, and that's about it.

The station stinks - literally. It's very drab and dark for a semi below ground station that has no development above it. It's a terrible transfer station to go between lines to/from Coquitlam/Surrey.

What would it realistically take to unfuck this station? Centre platform would instantly make it 10x easier for any transfers. Either more open roof section to allow more light in, or better lighting. Up escalators on both sides.

But the reality, how long would the need to close the station to rebuild it? Would it require shutting down the tracks entirely through there to get it done?

I feel like this is something that needs to be done 20 some years ago when they made the mline, and leaving it till after the Langley extension is done is just going to make the problem worse, especially if translink finally does rebuild it in a decade as its the connecting stop to Surrey.

Does any one else have absolutely terrible service on Bell/ Virgin in either area? I recently moved and Holy hell I get no service so often
