Starting January 18th, 2010, passengers taking the Canada Line from the YVR-Airport, Sea Island Centre and Templeton stations, will be hit with an additional $5 when purchasing tickets. The fee, called Add Fare, will be added on automatically to all fares at ticket vending machines at these three stations. Passengers who are travelling to the airport will not be required to pay the additional $5.
The concept for the Add Fare was approved previously in 2004 to help fund the cost of constructing the new transit line, which runs from Downtown Vancouver to Richmond and Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Originally, TransLink had proposed to offer an additional $2.50 for passengers going to and from the airport and adjacent stations.
Commuters who hold pre-paid passes and cards, including FareSavers, monthly FareCards, Vancity U-Passes, and BC Government Bus Passes will not be affected by this.
