A U-Pass BC gives students access to bus, SeaBus and SkyTrain services within Metro Vancouver, as well as discounts on West Coast Express.

All eligible students pay for their U-Pass BC as part of their student fees.

In addition to providing you with low-cost travel, U-Pass BC encourages you to make transit part of your lifestyle, which helps reduce greenhouse gasses while creating a sustainable transit program.

How to obtain your Compass Card

Here are some ways to get your Compass Card:

  • Capilano University Bookstore
  • Vending machines at SkyTrain stations and SeaBus terminals
  • London Drugs, Safeway, Shopper's Drug Mart, etc. throughout the Lower Mainland
  • Online via the TransLink website
  • By phone via TransLink at 604 398 2042
