everyone know's it's not fair that the upass is mandatory.
But, it is necessary? for everyone to subsidize the program so it's so cheap.

I don't get it though, why not just charge the concession rate for all students in the program. ie. ubc, sfu, langara, etc.

Those who want the U-Pass should pay their fair share. Not pawn the cost off to other students.

So in reality, translink still get's at least $60/month per person using translink. $30 for the student that uses translink + $30 for the student that doesn't use the upass.
