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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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? fucking retarded idiots

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?

The solution is to buy a car. | 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.
as someone mention, why pay $100 + a month riding this bullshit than taking the chance getting caught.

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.
