The most egregious of the latest round of Translink fare increases?
In my opinion, it's this one...
"FareSaver tickets will begin transitioning out as early as January 1, 2014. A discount on regular fares will be provided within the new stored value option for Compass Cards."
And as for the matter of....'Stored value option in Compass Cards'?
Well.
It sure does sounds like a forced purchase plan to me.
As Andrea Reimer said on the Twittmachine...
It's almost as if they don't even want us to take transit anymore.
Hang-on a second.
Maybe I should re-phrase that into....
It's almost as if they don't want the people who need it most to take transit anymore.
OK?
