Fee
The fee for the U-Pass is currently $30 per month for all students. The U-Pass allows unlimited travel in all zones on buses, SkyTrains and the SeaBus. This represents a significant savings over the current $81 fee for a monthly regular one zone pass and FastTrax sticker previously required, or a savings of approximately $352 over eight months.
Beginning on April 1, 2013, the U-Pass monthly fee will increase to $35 per month.
Fees are paid along with tuition and student fees, and all students (regardless of whether they are taking classes on campus, taking distant education courses, or even on Co-op term) are obliged to purchase the pass, though in some circumstances students may opt out.
U-Passes are non-transferrable and the student must have their name printed on the back of the pass. Fraudulent use may result in criminal charges or a fine. Students are required to carry supplemental identification (Student Card) and produce it for inspection, along with the UPass, upon request of a Transit Security Officer or a member of the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Police Service. Failure to produce supplemental identification (Student Card) upon request may result in confiscation of the UPass, and/or a fine for not having a valid fare in a Fare Paid Zone.

“..for a prostitute’s fee is only a loaf of bread, but the wife of another stalks a man’s very life.”
