Either way, there is a bill to be paid for the extra service - BCRTC is not free - and I've never seen any material to suggest that ProTrans has a premium cost per train trip over BCRTC. I believe both operators are able to respond on short notice with extra trains and we've seen that in the past. The limitation is still Translink's ability to pay for the extra trips.
