| Fake two-zone TransLink passes were produced in China, sold in Vancouver
Five people, including two foreigners in Vancouver on student or visitor visas, have been charged in connection with an eight-month investigation into counterfeit TransLink passes.
The probe focused on counterfeit TransLink two-zone monthly passes, allegedly being produced in China and sold at a slightly reduced price to unsuspecting transit users in Metro Vancouver through ads — in both Chinese and English — on social networking websites.
TransLink’s two-zone monthly passes for adults sell for $110, while the counterfeit passes were being sold for $90 to $100 each. Fake two-zone TransLink passes were produced in China, sold in Vancouver |

A whopping $10-20 in savings. 
They should invest their efforts in much more worthwhile causes, like selling replica BBT stamps.

$10 a year = $120.
$120 for years = savings.

With all the price hikes they said it was to "provide more reliable service to its customers"
Transit system is STILL shit in my area

The same thing with the fare gates. Construction has already begun for the Expo line and apparently the Millenium line was already designed for these gates.
