Theoretical symphony to not just lament the complete loss of 500,000-7 people's access to public transportation in Metro Vancouver, BC, should TransLink's fiscal cliff of $4.3-billion not be addressed by Spring 2026, but as a testament to the dominance of the automobile in North America, and the treatment of transit as a non-essential service and transit riders as second-class citizens. The symphony would ultimately paint a bleak picture of the future of not just Vancouver, but the general outlook of a building livable, vibrant and financially and enviromentally sustainable societies in any North American city under the automobile's rule, as population growth remains unsustainable with the status quo of car-dependant suburban sprawl.

I.  Presto "Peak Hours" (E-flat major) - A spirited march depicting the bustle and vibrancy of a thriving transit system (and therefore a thriving city), and an optimistic future of expansion and improvement.
II. Tema con variazioni "The Journey" (B-flat major)  - A theme and variations, similar to "Victoria in Transit" where each variation takes the listener on a journey connecting with a variety of different bus routes venturing to every nook and cranny of Metro Vancouver, namely foreshadowing for the ones to be cut.
III. Marcia brutale "March of the Automobile" (G minor) (started 2024-07-25) - Noisily depicting the chaos of traffic congestion, road fatalities, and the monopoly built by the automotive industry to view the automobile as a symbol of status and the treatment of public transit and its users as low-class.
IV. Prestissimo furioso "Service Changes" (B-flat minor) - A suspenseful movement with the looming disaster ahead, exploding into a brutal orchestral tutti where the cuts begin (with hints of hope that salvation can still come)
V. Lento funebre "In Memoriam" (E-flat minor) - Services cut. 500,000–675,000 people now without transit access will either turn to the dark side of the automobile or lose their job. As routes are cut, ridership declines, further reducing revenue, leading to more cuts in a death spiral. Recovery even in a decade is a pipe dream, as the population's confidence in transit declines, and political will for transit is further decimated. A hopelessly dying down funeral march revisits the themes introduced in the second movement as each route breathes its last breath as the last bus closes its doors. Similar to the ending of Haydn's Farewell Symphony, instrument groups will gradually depart in this movement, leaving the orchestra bare-boned, until
the last lone note fades into the eternity of silence.
