“由于这是强制性的,所以我们的确需要确认这是学生们可以承受的. 我们不想让那些不常使用公交车的学生处在不利的地位, 所以选定了75加元使用四个月, 这大约是每周乘坐一个往返的费用.”

Power说这种U-Pass卡将从环保角度友情鼓励更多的学生使用公交系统, 这种新卡将在下一个秋天正式起用, 并且对于现在已经购买月卡的人来说, 每年将会节省约300加元.

"We really needed to make sure that it was affordable for students because it's mandatory. We didn't want students who don't use transit as often to be put at a disadvantage, so at $75 for four months, it's about one round trip a week."
