		Translink WILL NOT be funded directly from local funds, the third party contributions mentioned above are likely to come from developments near to the route and from other external sources.
		For example, Translink noise assessment was based on existing noise level readings at the rear of properties at selected locations along the corridor, together with noise generated by vehicles travelling on the busway based on actual roadside measurements taken at existing busways in this Country.
		Since that time the Councils and their Consultants have been reviewing the Translink appraisal, and a revised SAR was submitted to the Government in October 2001, which addressed all of the concerns previously raised.

	TransLink Monitoring Program
		TransLink ticket users appear to have figured out that buying multiple $32 tickets was a better deal than buying a single $80 ticket, given the discount in the pricing ($32 worth of travel for $30 compared to $80 of travel for $75) and the last ride bonus with each farecard.
		TransLink ticket users were asked to identify any types of tickets they were using prior to TransLink as well as any they were continuing to use.
		TransLink purchasers were given a list of nine reasons to purchase the ticket and asked to select their first and second most important reasons.

	Vancouver Board of Trade - Governance of TransLink
		If TransLink does not step up to and act on that broader mandate, then it should be recognized as a transit authority only and another mechanism should be found to address the other serious regional transportation challenges that are already having strong negative effects on the regional economy.
		A monumental problem facing TransLink is the very high cost of establishing the new rapid transit lines that are in the existing strategic transportation plan as a reflection of the existing regional land use plan.
		One idea that has emerged is for TransLink to be made a direct responsibility of the Greater Vancouver Regional District, with all of the directors of the regional district holding responsibility for governance of TransLink.

	MTC -- Services -- TransLink
		The independent evaluation of the TransLink® pilot program released in 2003 shows that cardholder satisfaction with TransLink® is very high, no insurmountable technical problems emerged, and that passengers and transit agencies alike found the accounting to be accurate.
		Reliability and availability of TransLink® equipment exceeded contractual requirements, and the TransLink® financial clearinghouse automatically settled over 99.9 percent of the 120,000-plus transactions processed during the Phase I study period.
		Because TransLink® is a smart card with a microchip designed to store multiple fares, passengers who use more than one transit system will be able to use either e-cash or to load multiple passes or stored rides on a single card.

	TransLink fare hike penalizes frequent transit users the most \| Urban Vancouver (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The people who are willing to spend 90 bucks for the privelege are the people who are going to be using it the most, and are more likely to recommend it the most.
		The point that Roland was trying to make is that Translink is hiking fares for its best customers, and the screwed up part is that they acknowledge that this will cause a decrease in ridership.
		Chances are, however, that regular translink users will still continue to purchase the monthly pass at the less advantageous price.
