More than one million Compass Cards are now in use for Metro Vancouver’s public transit users since its launch in 2015. Compass Card is the contactless smart card payment system designed and integrated by Cubic for the region’s transportation authority, TransLink. The system is also processing more than 42 million card ’taps’ each month.  
 
Compass links all of TransLink’s services and fare products in Metro Vancouver to a single payment system, including West Coast Express, SkyTrain, SeaBus and buses, replacing more than 150 different tickets and passes with one easy-to-use, reloadable fare card.

Customers also have the option to register their Compass Cards and manage their accounts online, giving them the added convenience of loading their products online, signing up for auto-load on their card balance, as well as avoiding the hassle of waiting in line at ticket vending machines.
