    Point taken that adjusting costs of different travel modes to support more sustainable choices is a good idea. The City will continue to review parking fees to better reflect street value and market demand, and the Greenest City Plan adds a more explicit environmental lense to this work. Transit fares fall outside City jurisdiction, and there are multiple factors to consider. Fares are an important revenue source for TransLink; at the same time, it is important that prices are affordable and equitable.

    Please, learn from other big cities and see how their transportation system works.

    keep raising ticket fee will not motivate people to take transit.

    BTW, why do I want to pay to take transit when others simply hop onto it without paying (skytrain, seabus, 99B line etc). I want to take transit, but I refuse to use patronize a company who practises such measures.
