Transportation in Vancouver
Transportation in Vancouver, British Columbia has many of the features of modern cities worldwide. Unlike many large metropolises, Vancouver has no freeways into or through the downtown area. A proposed freeway through the downtown was rejected in the 1960s by a coalition of citizens, community leaders and planners. This event "signalled the emergence of a new concept of the urban landscape" and has been a consistent element of the city's planning ever since.
As the city is surrounded by water on three sides, it has several bridges to the north and south. Although similar to most other cities in that the automobile serves as the primary mode of transportation, it does have alternatives such as the SkyTrain system which is the longest fully automated light metro system in North America (second longest in the world) 〔http://www.tourbytransit.com/vancouver/public-transit/skytrain〕 as well as an extensive network of bike routes.
==Public transportation==

The Metro Vancouver operates a regional rapid mass transit network, under the auspices of the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority (formerly Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority). Known as TransLink, it is responsible for all aspects of municipal transportation. In addition to public transport, TransLink is also responsible for maintaining roads and providing ferry service within the Lower Mainland.
TransLink is introducing a smart card based electronic payment system called the Compass Card to replace existing monthly and daily passes, tickets and cash.〔Vancouver Sun October 25, 2012 ''TransLink to crack down on fare evaders using collection agencies'' Vancouver Sun-25 Oct. 2012 By Christopher Reynolds "The electronic Compass Card will replace existing monthly and daily passes, tickets and cash "〕 Translink has been slowly phasing in use of the Compass Card. Summer 2015 will see most post-secondary school students begin using the fare cards. Translink is scheduled to rollout the card to the general population by the end of 2015. 〔 http://www.translink.ca/en/Fares-and-Passes/Compass-Card/Compass-Timeline.aspx 〕 The Compass Card will have a $6 refundable deposit.〔http://askcompass.ca/?QuestionID=311〕 The Compass Card is a NXP Mifare DESFire EV1 card.〔http://www.nxp.com/news/press-releases/2013/01/nxps-mifare-deafire-selected-to-support-vancouvers-green-city-plan.html〕
