Don't forget that EVERY student who goes to UBC pays the UPass fee, even those who drive there and those who live there. It's not as simple as just saying they loose the difference between a monthly farecard vs. the UPass fee for the people who use UPass. It's closer to revenue-neutral than the mere fare difference would imply.
