VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Expect turnstiles at SkyTrain stations, West Coast Express stops and at Seabus terminals in 2013. TransLink is going ahead with the extra security measure and bringing in a new Smart Card system at the same time.
The smart card is similar to systems used in cities like Seattle, giving users the option to reload their cards in person, by phone or on the web. The cards will have a chip inside to allow those with loaded fare to pass through fare gates. They will also work for bus fares. Construction on the upgrades will start next year.
