The OnePassNow campaign is calling for a $25 U-Pass for all Metro Vancouver students to fulfill the Premier’s election promise “…to introduce a common U-Pass program for all postsecondary students … for a flat fee that is the same for students throughout Metro Vancouver.”
The U-Pass program has been one of the most successful transit programs in Metro Vancouver because it provides students with an affordable way to increase their transit use while relieving some of the financial burden for students. Currently, students at Vancouver Community College, Emily Carr University and Douglas College pay three times more than UBC students for their monthly transit pass. The OnePassNow campaign is calling for a standardization of the UBC rate so that all students can enjoy the benefits of a $25 U-Pass.
