She hot? I can understand selling your own..... but buying up others and reselling them is just asking for it. |
nice...that post graduate life |
Had to find a way to pay off those student loans somehow :troll: |
anyone know what defines 'fraud'? why don't you go after people committing id theft? easy targets means easy revenue right? |
You guys don't seem to understand it's the TRANSIT Police that are doing this investigation. Clearly...this sort of crime is withing their jurisdiction along with other crimes that occur on or are related to Translink property. I'm not sure what the ho-hum is about this crime. |
It's stupid they even care about this shit. It's retarded you don't have the option to opt out the upass from your tuition. When I was forced to buy mine, I sold it, used the money to pay for a parking pass at school instead. It worked out for me, the girl who bought it from wanted to set up a monthly thing, never had to post on CL again and try to find another buyer lol If they don't want students to sell their upass, don't force them to pay for it. I don't understand why it's mandatory. |

And some people that buy upasses still have a valid UBC id because they expire 6 or 7 years after you first get it so there's no risk to them. |

The student union of a university must hold a referendum to sign a U-Pass service contract with Translink. Once introduced, the student union retains the right to terminate the contract with Translink at the time of renewal or during the contract period with six months prior notice should the opinion of the student body change. At UBC, a 2011 referendum re-approved the U-Pass with ninety-five percent support. Over a hundred other transit providers in North America operate U-Pass programs. Quote:

I go to UBC and I don't need the Upass. Why must I pay for something I don't use? I shouldn't have to. In a sense I am paying for other people's transit. I should have the option between buying a 30$ upass per month or opting out. I've submitted applications online to opt out of the Upass but I always get denied. You tell me if this sounds logical. "I got denied for saying no to buying a Upass, even though I don't want it." It sucks not having a choice and being forced to pay for something you don't want or need. In a sense my school is forcing me to throw money down the river for something I absolutely do not want. This same argument I am using relays back to the transit tax on gas prices. Why must me, as a driver, get taxed for other people's transit? There are enough taxes as is. |

the only way to stop this would be to implement a different upass system. the current system, even with the changes made over the last year, only reduced some losses through fraud, but still needs more work. i believe turning student ID cards into upasses would make a huge difference. students would be less likely to sell their ID as you need it for most exams. |

Stupid laws.. All they do is take your money.. Posted via RS Mobile |
Big deal. Is like people from china buy a house here and resell it later for higher price. And they don't even live here. If the seller willing to part out their pass. Why the fuck not. Why is it a crime when we the normal people want to make a profit but yet is ok for the government to rape us with shit they can randomly come up with. Posted via RS Mobile |

I understand at the end of the day, there will always be people trying to take advantage of the system to make a quick buck. I don't have a solution to this problem. Everyone knows the majority post secondary students are broke as shit, so I'm not surprised this is going on. |

How do you get to work? Or is that within walking distance too? You should be paying $30 just for being so god damn lucky to have a complete life in a few block radius. Don't work? Then how are you paying for university? Parents paying for it? Then shut up about the $30. Do you drive a car, or have a private chauffeur? Again, see above. I guess the only person I could see complaining about this (with a valid argument), is some bike riding vegan, who lives off blackberry and underbrush salads in a tent across the street from the school, selling hand woven promise bracelets to pay for tuition each semester. I have a hunch the people in this thread are more of the - my parents paid for my car and university education, and they are sick of my lazy ass being unable to hold down a part time job at Swiss Chalet, so I need the $30 secretly returned after they pay it, so I have a little extra beer coin. :badpokerface: |

Rule #1 of being a student: Just because you think you're important by attending the Sauder School of Business, you're still not exempt from being a socialist like all of the other university students. Posted via RS Mobile |

Also, guess who is subsidizing 1/3 of your tuition at UBC? |

Selling something you paid money for? OUTRAGEOUS! |
When on every pass, and ticket machine, and every skytrain station the message of it being 'illegal' to give or re-sell a pass/ticket is plastered, I do not feel sorry for people like this getting charged. BUT I do think that anything more than a fine is overkill. |
I don't see how it could be "illegal". It's against TOS, for sure but illegal? |
