You simply need to get a Compass Ticket from the CVMs on Sea Island that says Sea Island Only.

When staff cannot be at stations, one accessible fare gate will remain open so these customers can continue to travel independently.

During the period following the closure of fare gates, we will directly engage with these individual customers on the system to better understand their diverse needs.

Bus tickets will not be exchanged, but staff will be on hand to assist them entering the system.

If you lose it, tough luck, but the first one should be free.

What about people that are visiting our fine city, using public transit system Will THEY have to buy a Compass card for day Answer these questions, and PROVE that you have thought this through.

So, if you dont have enough fare to finish your journey, when you tap out, you will have a negative balance as the system dips into your 6 reserve which you will need to top up before your next trip.

Basically, the deposit acts as a safety feature so the customer can get where they need to go.

The deposit is also fully refundable so this money is always yours.

If you register your card online at compasscard.ca, you receive balance protection meaning a new card will be issued to you with the value that was on the card.

Many cities (Tokyo, London for example) with smartcard payment systems for their transit have the same program as we do.

The card is refundable when you leave either in person or by mail.

Visitors are also able to buy single Compass Tickets at the vending machines at YVR as well.

Thanks.

With the information we gather through Compass, particularly when all the gates are closed, will allow the busiest stations to have set directional gates if needed.

How about people coming to and from work via YVR Or templeton station This compass system started Since Jamuary 1st and we didnt get a response.

Paying for the fare I would mind as well pay for the gas and get the convenience.

The YVR airport authority is the one who implemented the add fare and Translinks job is to collect it for them on their behalf.

With the implemention of compass, the only way for them to collect it is through stored value unfortunately.

In advance I ordered a Compass Card on-line so I had it before I departed.

I do this before visiting any major city that has a similar program (like London England).

I really like it.

Plus you save money on trips with single zone fares at 2.10 if you use the card.

And I agree that at some stations, directional gates would be good to help manage flow.

I wold have preferred to use stored value with a daily cap and a monthly cap instead of passes.

That way I dont have to plan ahead I can just use the card and not worry about it.
