Translink says first week of September one of the busiest

Translink is reminding commuters to gear up for a busy week ahead on trains and buses.

Spokesperson Drew Snider says the first week of September is often one of the busiest of the year as kids return to class and others go back to work.

“We’re using the same amount of resources and in the past year or so, we’ve been moving more people with the same resources. So if it looks like it’s a lot more crowded than usual, that’s because it is.”

New fare evasion legislation also comes into effect on Tuesday.

Fines will rise from an initial cost of $ 173, to $ 273 if unpaid after a year.

ICBC can also choose not to renew car insurance, should fines not be paid.
