Only free for a few hours...isn't it a bit cheap? Or Translink don't expect ppl to pay anyway since there's no enforcement (e.g., gates)?

作者: peter236 時間: 2009-8-17 11:54

You can go to Aberdeen and park your car first. Then go to Aberdeen station.

it's not really up to the translink. The private company built it was the one gets the money.

o i thought i heard they are installing gates for richmond stations?

作者: ani 時間: 2009-8-17 12:22

ha? really gay?

I thought it would be like..
Translink needs to build skytrain, private company/contractors does the building, and charges translink $$
and once the skytrain operates, translink receives the revenue to recover the cost of the project..

so the private company has control over our transit system??

作者: myversa 時間: 2009-8-17 12:26

no private company did not have control over our transit system but they get the revenue for x number of years. After x number of years, the revenue will belong to translink.

作者: tiffiant 時間: 2009-8-17 12:33

this canada line is ONLY for public
and not for private

translink use our money to build this train..........
public are deserved to have this free for a week or 2 weeks or for a month or 2

chickenwingprin 發表於 2009-8-17 12:50 PM

Well, all stations dont' have gate as enforement since we built the system. So if u ride "free" you take the risk of getting charged by the transit security (or whatever they are called).
I did it once because I couldn't figured out how to validate my ticket.... @ @ I was so scared on the whole ride from Metro to DT....
news said that they will put gates in 3 years... I have no idea why they have to wait 3 years.

作者: sheep 時間: 2009-8-17 12:45

wait until they found out which smart card to use with the gate

i did that also la
free rides - deserved for our public
i suppor people who take free rides

作者: myversa 時間: 2009-8-17 12:52

if you do not pay to ride, translink will just get the money from us one way or another.

I do not support our high bus fare price but still taking free ride is just wrong.

and there is a booklet for stamps

on opening day, maanmo went to the  downtown city center station , found the line up one block long
some one is handing out passports to the people waiting in line

maanmo decided to go to waterfront , and found the line up  10 blocks long
maanmo waited 3 hours to get on the train to the airport,  without picking up any pass ports as all pass ports were gone

to maanmo its truly a historical spectacle

to the airport,, there where chinese immigrant  to home with money
to the casino, that's where some will stop and  gave up all their money

maanmo waited  for 3 hours  outside the waterfront  station to try out the canada line,  , and not getting a passport
disappointed naturally, but maanmo was lucky to be waiting in line  with some little strangers , coming out to see the world with
their mothers, their playful joy, with stay in my memory, until the end of time as the story of life unfolds
  as i said before , canada  line is part of a life story spanning  many generations,
early immigrants  go to the airport  to take money  home
and some immigrants todaY  go to the casino to dump all the money  they happen to have

i did not get a passport, but i see the story of life unfolds,, life is worth waiting for,,  its a historical  spectacle  forever remembered
in the heart of  an immigrant who dream of going home with lots and lots of money

It may not be people prefer to drive here, it's because the public transportation is not good enough for people (like me) to give up driving.

不過點講都好，translink 都賺多咗我啲錢，我已經買咗4本book of ten，搭過好幾次skytrain，去downtown 又真係幾方便嘅。唔洗搵位泊車嘛。

that's true. If I use A LOT of public transportation then worth to get monthly pass. That's why I just get book of 10 lor...
but some companies will subsidizes bus passes to "encourage" employee take public transportation.
