U-Pass Funding for Tri-Community Students

2011-03-22T09:43:00.000-07:00

In 2010-2011 students from the tri-community area paid $183.34 in U-pass fees and only got to ride ETS buses. Students from Strathconna and St. Albert got to ride their own transit systems as well. What can be done so that tri-community students can get better service for their money?
