Mass Transit and the needs of the Masses: Public Transportation Service in Downtown EastSide Vancouver.
This paper will consider the relation between the British Columbia public transit service's new "Stop Request" program, and in relation to the transportation needs of Vancouver's Downtown East Side residents. This paper will examine these issues with Beauregard's (1989) modernist/postmodernist perspective; and the usefulness of Young's (YEAR) discussion of the five faces of oppression, as a way to more specifically character the people of East Side Vancouver in relation to their marginal location in the city and in the society, and their relation with issues of "safety" will be discussed. 9 pgs. 17 f/c. 11b.
