TransLink has introduced the Compass Mini-Train as another way to pay for transit in Metro Vancouver.
“The Compass Mini-Train is a new and exciting addition to the Compass product lineup,” says TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn. “Compass Wristbands and Minis have been successful, and I’m sure customers will appreciate the fun and quirky design of the new Compass Mini-Train.”
The Compass Mini-Train is a small model SkyTrain, which can attach to a keyring and works like the Compass Card and Compass Wristband. Unlike other Compass offerings, the Compass Mini-Train lights up when tapped.
TransLink released 3,000 blue adult Mini-Trains and 2,000 orange concession Mini-Trains Dec. 14. Customers can use their Compass Mini-Train to tap in and out when travelling on transit and reload online, at a Compass vending machine, by phone or in-person.
In an updated blog post covering the introduction of the mini-train, TransLink says it was sold out of the product, explaining the Compass Mini-Train was proving to be “a hot Christmas commodity.”
