Modo is celebrating its 1,000th car-sharing vehicle (a new Hyundai Ionic EV) and 30,000th member.

I've been a member of Modo since 2006 and it's the reason I've never owned a personal car.

I've used Modo vehicles to haul furniture, access campgrounds around BC, and take road trips across Canada.

Translink is celebrating the 75th anniversary of electric trolley buses in Vancouver.

I'm so grateful that Vancouver has kept and maintained the clean buses all these years.

So kudos to all the organizations that make living in Vancouver without a car possible. 🎉

If it wasn't for HUB Cycling, Modo, and Translink, Vancouver would be just another car-centric North American city.

In 2021, I calculated that our family has saved over $100,000 living car-free in Vancouver for 15 years.

As I stare out the window at a crowded highway: maybe a visit to Vancouver is in order.
