Surely “the rest of BC” doesn’t include Vancouver…

Seriously. All I want out of Translink is tap to pay with my phone. I don’t want wristbands or keychains. I want an app, and I want it to work with my phone’s wallet.

Good of them to join us in this post-2005 era of [checks notes] not having to have exact fucking change to use a bus

This is great! I'm fine with an initial tap-for-Umo-wallet with tap for credit card later, too.

About time! Anything to make the rides shorter.

You know what I actually want? Distance-based fares instead of this bullshit zone-based business.
