Vancouver City Council will vote next week on supporting free transit for minors, and cheaper transit for low-income riders. If approved, the city of Vancouver would write a letter to the Mayor's council asking for funding from Translink and the province. In addition, the motion asks for people who are served fines to do community service, rather than pay a ticket.
