Your Compass card is will soon learn some new tricks, as you could soon use it for car and bike-sharing.
TransLink is introducing a pilot project to 200 employees from a select 14 Vancouver companies that will run until May 2020.
“These individual trips will now all be possible with one easy and seamless payment method,” said Translink CEO Kevin Desmond in a statement.
The project is in partnership with Modo, Evo and Mobi by Shaw Go.
Each of the 200 employees will receive a co-branded Compass card. They can use it with any of the four companies, for work-related trips.
At the end of each month, they’ll be able to view expenses for each, through a streamlined expense report.
“Those participating can take transit on their morning commute, cycle to meeting locations throughout the day, and unlock carshare services for the journey back home,” TransLink posted on Instagram.
It is not yet open to the public, but it would be surprising if the program is not introduced to the public.
