Then why does one of my family members have one?
It is not Translink who pays for the rest, rather, BC Hydro...leaving only around $15 a month (not sure of the exact figure) for you to pay. It looks like a U Pass with only a name and expiration date.
Again, if you re-read my post, you see I said employer discounted, not Translink discounted employer pass. I have no idea how much BC Hydro pays...probably the going rate for the employer pass minus $15.
