Translink just added a 14% additional Tax(PST) on Parking at Schools
 

Trans Link Notice

The tax grab has increased to 21%. Applies to all parking in the South Coast Area.

Campus Parking has just increased. Discuss.

whats there to discuss? it is what it is.

This applies to parking in general and has been talked about in different forums.

My Apologies then. I just found it at the bottom of the Off Topic Vancouver Forum. Geez. Just wanted to give people a heads up for rate hikes.

I thought people would be a little more irate about it. It just pisses me off that such a board exists. With the power to make by-laws that by pass normal public consultation.

our sfu b lot passes, usually increase by $20 per semester, which is...tolerable.

from summer 2009 to fall 2009, price went from 180 to 280, which is a ridiculous increazse of $100.

now one semester later they have the tax hike up to 21%, retarded.

they're trying to force people to use their u-pass?

FUCK YOU TRANSLINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

park and ride ftw.

Seriously, Fuck Translink...if busing wasn't so shitty maybe more people would do it.

Seriously, what does "it is what it is" mean? That's like saying nothing at all. The OP wanted to facilitate some sort of discussion around the topic, and your comment suggests that we should simply be content with anything (whether arbitrary or not) imposed on us simply because "it is what it is".

ya westmall parking is $3.25 PER HOUR now lmfao

LOL Im so glad I graduated and have a job that offers free secure parking. I hate paying to park.

^lucky :(
translink why are you so friggin retarded?
