There’s poor maintenance of the escalators at New Westminster SkyTrain station.

The escalators going to the Expo line for getting to and from Vancouver have been not working for months now.

They are just collecting pigeon poop and feathers. If they were the responsibility of TransLink, they would be repaired and working. But no, these escalators are the responsibility of the station property management company and they don’t seem to be in any rush to repair them.

They don’t seem to care about the commuters and the state of the station shows it’s poorly looked after. Any ideas to make them improve their service level are welcomed.
