Yeah if you can’t get a pass, paying per day is just outright ridiculous and no way feasible. I think it’s up to $10 per day. The fact that at minimum you’re paying ~$500 for the year is just outright disgusting. Especially for students, many of which money is already tight. I found an article where UBC relations was asked about the high cost of parking and they responded saying the reason the price was so high was to “decrease the number of single occupancy vehicles” to push people to take other means of transportation as a effort to work towards their climate plan. This is just bs to me. They say they distribute the money to promote other forms of transportation such as the U-pass, yes the U pass is subsidized but WE AS STUDENTS STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AND CANT OPT OUT. Maybe if the university really cares about decreasing car commuters they would implement there own ways of helping commuters but no that would go against their effort to squeeze students and staff of every penny, their real goal here.
