minibuses that connect to the larger ones seabus passenger ferry across the burrard inlet the regional transit network including bus routes service levels and fares are set by translink . fare paid zones edit basically the honour system a fare paid zone is a clearly marked territory on which passengers must have valid proof of payment and present it for inspection upon request of a transit security officer . this was only in effect in skytrain stations and vehicles until june 25 2007 when the law was changed . now all buses including west vancouver buses will be designated a fare paid zone along with the skytrain . the reason for implementing the fare paid zone was to remove responsibility from the bus driver for fare enforcement as too many bus drivers were being assaulted in disputes over fare payment . fare enforcement on all buses are now the responsibility of the transit police and transit security department . officers may board a bus at any time and conduct a fare inspection . those who fail to pay the fare and retain proof of payment could be removed from the bus and or fined 173 . history edit cmbc was created on april 1 1999 . bus service in greater vancouver was formerly provided by bc transit . bc transit now refers only to the provincial government corporation that operates transit outside of metro vancouver . retired fleet roster edit the
