U-Pass returning for postsecondary students in Metro Vancouver, differences between schools

Following closely on the heels of students in Kingston, Ontario, postsecondary students from Metro Vancouver will have access to a universal transit pass when classes resume next month. The student unions, institutions, and TransLink negotiated during the summer semester to determine a viable way to continue the program, given that it is used by students for non-academic travel as well. The Vancouver Sun explains that the program will be applied differently depending on which of the 10 participating public institutions a student attends, with some institutions limiting access based on students’ home residence or level of participation in on-campus classes.  Vancouver Sun  (BC)
