The public scream, it's unfair that you're making people pay to use a service!
It seems an impasse has been reached.
The only way a criticism might be fair is if Translink did not agree to respect the Delta bylaw.

My thinking exactly. I mean, I'm all for free park-and-rides to encourage more transit use... but this statement just sounds silly: "we would like to get more for our money, not less for our money." Wait, you're just talking about NOT letting Translink collect any more money in your town... so you want more for less?
It's a chicken-and-egg scenario - you're glad to pay more, IF you have better service, but to GET better service, you have to pay more...
