Dear Editor:
Re: Letter Flags Fare Evasion, North Shore News, April 1.
Writer Allan Goudling states Neil McGregor committed an offense because he paid only $2.75 (rather than $9) for a two-zone public transit trip from YVR to Capilano University. However, as a senior who often travels between YVR and the North Shore, I pay only $2.75 per trip regardless of direction. How can I do it?
I purchase a one-zone, 10 trip fare saver book for $17.50 and upgrade each trip to two-zones for an additional $1. With a fare saver coupon, the YVR AddFare is not applicable. If my math is correct, that amounts to $2.75 per trip.
Perhaps, that is what Ontario writer Neil McGregor did and thus not subject to a fare evasion summons? I would encourage other seniors to use a fare saver book and the upgrade option.
