Would really suck if it would be cheaper driving out to SFU than bussing.

Ugh, we have UPasses...

Though we have somewhat of an increase, it is nothing like the change/price of the regular fare.

Greenstoner 03-15-2010 10:36 PM

what a joke♦

Mr.HappySilp 03-15-2010 10:51 PM

Time to stock up on the old bus pass booket. They are still going to be old price but you can use it once the price increase.

Amuse 03-15-2010 10:53 PM

Wasn't a 1 zone bus pass $50 to $60 a few years ago?
wow $81 now for just 1 zone, that's more than my monthly gas.
Why don't they raise prices for concession or senior passes as well?

wahyinghung 03-15-2010 11:42 PM

what a joke and they are trying to persuade us to leave our cars @ home ?????:rolleyes:

keifun 03-15-2010 11:50 PM

translink can go fuck themselves! I'm just glad I have my own car and not have to rely on their sub-par transit system and hiking fees

Qmx323 03-16-2010 12:05 AM

HAH!

I don't use my U-pass too often, so I guess it's fine :)

everytime the price increases so does the upass, but no one is complaining cause it's already a sweet deal since it's compulsory for all students.

!Tigger 03-16-2010 12:19 AM

if translink were actually run by people who knew how to run a transit system... we wouldnt be fucked so bad.

Gh0stRider 03-16-2010 01:02 AM

another fare hike, wtf.

PiuYi 03-16-2010 01:19 AM

Nobody wants to believe this, but providing transit for everybody costs a lot of money. There's no way around it.

The solution is to buy a car.

Great another increase. Glad I drive and havent take a skytrain for atleast 5 years, I feel for you transit riders but there's nothing u can do about it other then sneak on or drive

And to think, Hwy 1 traffic was so awesome during the Olympics, I thought some people would continue to use public transit - I guess that's out the window.

quasi 03-16-2010 05:57 AM

Better raising the fairs targeting then end user then tacking on even more to property or gas tax. I agree about turnstyles they're a no brainer and should be installed as well.

Ronin 03-16-2010 08:08 AM

Good thing I don't take public transit...

tool001 03-16-2010 08:21 AM

so whats going on with turnstyle idea, is it gonna happen or not? think once the increase have set in, they will hit the public turnstyle after...

Dragon-88 03-16-2010 08:34 AM

Turnstyle or not translinks sucks period. I would rather drive a rusted 80's car then sit next to someone who hasnt showered in days.

Mugen EvOlutioN 03-16-2010 08:40 AM

WAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!:mad::mad:

Greenstoner 03-16-2010 08:45 AM

if the transit bus is like asian (taiwan) then i prob wouldnt mind..

comfy AC, TVs, audible stopping system, increase buses to sub-urban (not every half hour, 45mins wait BS).. late night 3am services to all places ...


the transit here in fucking shit, especially in the summer when everyone is sweating and there is like no AC.

Mugen EvOlutioN 03-16-2010 08:45 AM

seriously im motherfucking choked with this bullshit.

I used to drive to work everyday, tried to save money by takine the sky shit. Than i realize wtf, what exactly am i saving? nothing, other than maintenance and wear and tear on the car. in terms of gas money? its the same if not more expensive. Unless you drive a V6/v8 than you actually save a little, but not by much.



Whatever, thank god i found a way to hack the fucking system. Starting tomorrow i aint paying a penny, nor will i get caught. FUck you bitchass translink

Encourage ppl to take trans shit while it costs more to drive, who the fuck will do that?

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: fucking retarded idiots

dutch 03-16-2010 08:52 AM

I really like the canada line, but the lack of turnstiles is bullshit. I don't want to subsidize the freeloaders.

I'm considering not paying and riding for free to protest the lack of turnstiles.
If everybody did this, they'll get the turnstiles in real quick.


Would you rather pay for the freeloader, or would you rather be the freeloader?

bullshit, in asia it doesnt cost an arm and a leg to take transit. And their transit is 10000 times better than the garbage we get here. train doesnt come until every 5 minutes, they sometimes run 2-3 cabs, WTF! than it gets hella crowded like a group of dieing sardines in a pound. Hell even the new train tat goes from granville to richmond is a slow mofo pos.
:rolleyes::rolleyes:

as someone mention, why pay $100 + a month riding this bullshit than taking the chance getting caught.

I would rathre tell the trans shit to FUCK OFF

make the rate more reasonable, now slap in the fucking turnstiles so we dont get fucking bums with their stinky garbage bags riding in the same cabs as the rest of the citizen; than i wouldnt mind paying. The whole point of this trans shit is to encourage ppl to keep their cars at home, not to scare them off with some ridiculous retarded rates.
