Skytrain Now Free

[Cock Throppled]

Good news everybody - you can ride Skytrain for free!

Just hop on without paying.

If a Skytrain cop challenges you and issues a ticket they don't bother to collect them. This has been going on since 1999. Way to manage public assets.

I've been ticketed before and went to court to challenge. The officer was there to see it through. Maybe you got lucky?

NAG75

 

[bcneil]

If you go to court to fight the fine, because you didn't buy a $2.50 ticket..
I'd rather buy a ticket, then go to court.

Hooray you won in court.......I'll just pay the $2.50

 

[mercyshooter]

Um, you are aware that if you don't pay your transit fines you can't renew your DL nor your insurance on your car, right?

There's no law that icbc guys are allowed to collect your fines. If i was Christy Clark, i'll amend all the laws here in BC!

LOL! Thats AWESOME!

And for the record, on my Ticket Event, I had forgotten my wallet in the car... had to hop a Train and go all the way back rather than risk leaving there. Transit cop asks, "Do you need a Temporary Pass?" "Uh... Yeah? I don't have my wallet on me, remember?"

He didn't like that.

lol? stop being cheap..

 

[mercyshooter]

It's pretty easy actually! First, the board of directors have to pay for the loss. Then, fix the fucking system. They can take reference to other metropolitan cities around the world on how to build a good public transit system. As soon as loss becomes profit, that's when they can get back the public's trust. The most important thing is that the government must have an organization to keep monitoring translink! It's time for translink to revolutionize!

Um, you are aware that if you don't pay your transit fines you can't renew your DL nor your insurance on your car, right?

Wrong. They have no collection policy in place.

Hey, I'm talented, rich, sexy and good looking. That makes me happy, but I usually only post about things that piss me off. It's like the kid who never talked until he was 12. When they asked why, he said everything was fine up until then.

 

[InnocentBoy]

At this rate they will have you believing that it costs more to put turnstyles in than to build the damn skytrains

Yup!
Anyways, I fucking hate translink's board of directors!

 

[Pantherdash]

Um, you are aware that if you don't pay your transit fines you can't renew your DL nor your insurance on your car, right?

Um, that's what they'd LIKE you to believe but realistically they have no way of enforcing the collection of those fines. Why would it be tied to your DL or the insurance of your car when most people who ride the skytrain don't own a car or even have a DL?

Here's an article from just a few hours ago that contradicts the notion that they will hold the renewal of your DL or insurance if your don't pay. And collection agencies? Don't make me laugh!

Province wants unpaid transit fines paid
BC is trying to come up with a way to collect unpaid fines, the Taxpayers' Federation has a solution
Andrew Hopkins Mar 27, 2012 20:13:17 PM

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Most TransLink fines are not being paid, and that has BC's transportation minister promising to come up with a way to make people pay their fines for riding SkyTrain without a ticket.

Blair Lekstrom says it's costing you money because TransLink can do nothing to pressure fare evaders to pay their fines.

"Those are a dollars that come out of the taxpayers pockets, at either level whether it be at the local level or at the provincial level, one way or the other, so a very significant issue, and we are working on this and we are going to find a solution."

Lekstrom won't speculate on what that solution might be.

Over the past fourteen months, TransLink brought in about $1.3 million in fine revenue, while more than 7 and a half million in tickets remain outstanding.

The Canadian Taxpayers' Federation has some suggestions on how the province can make good on their promise.

The Federation's BC Director, Jordan Bateman, says it doesn't make sense that TransLink has only collected 7,500 fines since the start of last year, while issuing 64 thousand tickets.

Bateman says tying fines to driver's licenses won't work because many transit users don't drive.

He says the work may need to be contracted out. "You go to a collections agency and these people work on usually a percentage base of the money they recover, but even fifty percent of the money you recover is better than letting these people go free."

Bateman suggests a model based on adjudication courts that deal with municipal by-law fines could also help with the problem.

Right now, TransLink admits they have no way to force payment.

Not to mention Sky Train Attendants make $30 an hr, plus excellent benefits and a pension, for being completely unskilled and useless...

.......for a talented, rich, sexy and good looking guy, you don't come across as very happy.

Probably suffers from Micropenis syndrome like yourself! ound:ound:


The story of Hunka:

i have a micropenis. i have been tortured for years about my pathetic manhood. so much so that no girl wants me. if i try to talk to girls on a night out they all know who i am and know about my lil guy, i was tortured on facebook as whilst i was drunk my 'friends' held me down, took off my trousers and pulled down my undies, took a picture of my penis, and then stuck a pencil in my anus. i had no recelection of this. two days later a picture of my penis was posted on facebook and my name put on it, next to a picture of my face. now i get laughed at in the street, and the people who are kind enough to laugh behind my back still smirk as they walk past. it has ruined my life and my confidence, and heart is in shreads. i feel unadiquate as a man, and as a human being. th onl way to end this torture is to move away, or to end me. i need help so much but i dont want to talk to my parents about it, for fear even they may take the living piss out of me. im so glad i have found this site, makes me feel as part of something, im not just a one off freak show.

They should have put in turnstiles in every single skytrain station in the beginning. Most of the world have them in their mass transit system but no not here in laid back and god honest BC cause everyone is oh so honorable. The small minded, cheap ass bureaucrats at the time decided against them to save a few $$. Now it'll cost them 2 or 3 times more to put them in. A fucking disgrace, somebody should have to answer for this mess but I doubt it'll happen.

I don't really see how installing turnstiles is more costly now than when stations are originally built, really. Some wiring might have to now be installed in the floors or something, but really it's the cost of the equipment for the most part.

What they really should have done is put in public washrooms in the stations. People who are on trips that can range upwards of one hour with transfers are expected to use whatever open gas stations or cafes are near the stations, putting a major burden on those businesses.

They do make $30 an hour and have a pension and benefits. They are not unskilled and useless. The public and the employer rely on them to handle crowds and to be reliable shift workers, and not everyone can do that. They're in a situation comparable to flight attendants, their job is safety of the travelling public.

 

[Cock Throppled]

Retro-fitting is always more costly than installation at the time of design and construction. The stations were never built with turnstiles in mind, so walls have to be moved or modifications made to fit whatever pre-made gating system they use. Also, they might not be able to place them in the most logical or efficient location (oxymorons where Translink is involved).
