Wanna know the real reason the U-Pass was brought in?
-UBC and SFU built lots of luxury condo towers, which brought them revenue through development fees etc.
-GVRD says that you can build them, but net vehicular traffic must not change.
-UPass encourages more students to bus in, therefore allowing for roughly zero change or even less vehicles travelling to campus.
-GVRD approves building permits, UBC/SFU get cash from luxury developments.

MOTHER FCKERS!!!
Bulldoze the condos and turn them into parking lots instead. The majority of the owners aren't even ubc students just rich mainlanders. And build some hospices so they won't come back. Don't know why they turned the campus into a residential area guess it makes lots of money at the expense of the students.
