Gas is about .64 per litre around Vancouver BC. A litre is a little less than a quart. A while back, it had gotten close to .80. Being an old fart (Fartess?!) I can remember when it was less than $.50 a GALLON! Our bus fares are running at $1.75 for 1 zone, $2.50 for 2 zones and $3.25 for 3 zones, until 6:30 PM. After that and weekends it’s $1.75 to go anywhere. That gets you on the bus, Seabus to North Vancouver and the Skytrain (elevated train with portions of subway), for up to an hour and a half, any direction. You can also buy monthly passes for unlimited rides and books of tickets. I also ride a bike a lot! ---

$1.64/gallon in Panama. Lowest I’ve seen it in a long time. A few months ago it was $2.14/gallon in some places. ---
