Articles by Aiden Kim

After years of organizing by disabled advocates in the late 1970s, a new transit service designed for disabled riders began operating in BC. Advocates including Tim Louis, Debby Krentz, Taz Pirbhai, Brian Cruikshank, Mary Nobes and Paul Jones pushed for a system shaped by the people who used it. Their efforts led to the launch of HandyDART in 1980 and helped expand accessible transit in the province. | Photo courtesy of City of Vancouver Archive.
