Dear Editor:
Re: Faregate system too costly, mayor insists, Burnaby NOW, July 22. While Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan is right about the transit gate system that will cost more money, it makes perfect sense for TransLink's board of directors.
They will come out with a study (in secret) that the gate system cost more than expected, so it gives them the perfect excuse to come up with more ways to squeeze more from the taxpayers, even though they have raised fares, get more from gas tax, get more from property tax, more from Hydro, more from parking tax etc.
And no doubt they will use some of that money in the name of raises.
Allan Jang, Burnaby
