A YVR-style addfare sounds like a good solution for this.

the yvr add-fare allows free travel on that segment, no? since YVR chipped in to build this segment
maybe the same idea of free travel on campus for ubc?

just was thinking....

is the recent translink / mayors council funding announced for the remaining 20% local funding specific to the projects in the current 10 year plan?

or will this revenue be available afterwards for future projects like UBC extension phase II? and langley RRT?

The recent announcement is only phase two of the 10 year plan. only has funding for skytrain to arbutus and first phase of surrey lrt.

I think so but I'm not sure how it all works with compass card gates. It was the original plan for long term parking transport when YVR builds out a little more.

I agree a similar concept would be perfect for UBC.
