yeah I would spend less if I didn't put premium gas in it, and if it wasn't insured for business use.

but it's just a nice comfortable safe vehicle to drive. I wish they came in hybrid

dipshits, you pay the fee as a tax for polluting the enviroment. I drive everywhere and havent taken a bus in years but I am glad to pay the fee, its the cost of my own selfish ignorance and as time goes on it will change opinions. You have to start somewhere. I am one person that could easily complain, I live in maple ridge and go to school in abbotsford, so the bus isnt even an option. Still great.

Well, for a one-zone it's $73/month, which means given the $125 over 4 months means they save $167
Saving $50/month on gas means over the period of 4 months you save $75. It's win-win. Plus now the money spent is tax deductible.
(I use single-zone passes because prior to this students had the option of getting a decal on their student pass that allowed for single zone to be used as a three-zone)

actually you save $197 in four months.

and depending on how far away you live...
  • U-Pass for 8 months = $190.00;
  • One Zone Transit Pass for 8 months: $584.00;
  • Two Zone Transit Pass for 8 months: $792.00;
  • Three Zone Transit Pass for 8 months: $1088.00
