Agreed, but it's a complicated cost structure. For example, in Translink only revenues from the various zones pays for the Translink funded shares of service to those areas. IE. zone 1 fares only go to Vancouver while zone 2 fares go to Richmond, Burnaby etc. But Translink isn't only funded by fares. As a result, everyone in MetroVan pays through the BC gas tax for translink to service expensive suburbs out in Langley and the rest.
