U-Pass BC

What is the U-Pass BC program?

The U-Pass BC program is a transportation package which provides students in Metro Vancouver with universal and affordable access to public transit.  The program is a partnership between the Simon Fraser Student Society, the Graduate Student Society, TransLink, the Province of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University and was approved by a majority of students via an SFSS student referendum in March 2011 and a GSS referendum in June 2011.

SFU's U-Pass BC Program is a mandatory program for all members of Simon Fraser University’s Student Society and all members of the Graduate Student Society at Simon Fraser University.  The program fees are currently $120.00 per term ($30 per month). The program provides unlimited, all zone access to public transit in Metro Vancouver including TransLink Bus, SkyTrain and SeaBus services and a discount on West Coast Express Train fares.

Current TransLink transit service schedules and maps are available online. "Next bus" schedules can be viewed on a mobile device by texting the bus stop number to #33333.  Transit alerts and current conditions are now available for mobile devices at TransLink's mobile site: m.translink.ca.
