PART-TIME CANADA LINE STATION ATTENDANTS

Canada Line is now hiring part time attendants for the weekend. It's a 9 month term.

Did you get in yet with translink typeR?

So far I withdrew my application for shuttle and applied for conventional so I'll see what happens from there.

Time to go through this roller coaster again, I have been short listed for the position and invited to their video testing.

Single use tickets available now.

Bought one at Patterson and forgot to tap in.. :lol

Are they like FareSavers that I can use for next trip then?

i don't think so. i think when you buy it, the info is recorded into the ticket.

Ok.

The Translink website doesn't really say. But I looked up the fares with a compass pass and it seems to be cheaper than it currently is.

http://www.translink.ca/en/Fares-and...-Products.aspx

The price for a one zone transit is $2.75 -> $2.10 for example.

Didn't know that.

I believe that's about the same price when buying the older booklet of 10 tickets

razor

don't throw away that ticket

reuse that ticket and see what happens. from what i have heard and what i've read on the machines, the ticket is not validated until you tap.

if that is true, the 90 min don't start until your first tap.

EDITED: Sorry, didn't know it was posted in Shitty/Dangerous Drivers Thread already

^ no longer employed with translink? :D

^ more like sent back to drivers orientation/training as a disciplinary action for a second chance

^^ And suspension

Anyone here that works for transit knows how the compass or the ticket works? Going away at the end of Oct for a week so not using the monthly pass. I still have some of those old fare savers but they don't see them anymore so where can I get some faresavers and where do I get a compass? If I load my compass now and start using it do I have to tab in and out everytime now>?

i don't think you can buy faresavers anymore. as for compass cards, the new machines that are not add fare machines already have the cards loaded to dispense. i heard they will enable this option next week. and yes, always tap in and out now.

Was thinking about this today. People are using the cards and tapping in and out but the gates arent working. What's stopping me from getting a card and just not tapping.

If transit police ask me for proof of payment I show the compass card. Do they have the ability to see when it was last scanned?

^ yes. they have the ability to see if it has been validated (tapped). if you or i will ever see them checking, thats a different story.

Congrats!!:nyan:

Enjoy the grueling weeks of training! (if you're going to be an operator)
The worst part by far is sitting in a classroom for a couple of weeks for trolley training or air brakes. At the very least, now I can point out poor movie logic in regards to tractor trailers :fuckyea:

Basically they're the front line station attendants who are in charge of making sure the compass pass program rolls out smoothly.

Then there are the regular station attendants that paid about 30 ish dollars an hour.
