They can continue to use cash or FareSavers on buses, but they will need a Compass Card or Compass Ticket to get on SkyTrain and SeaBus.

TransLink says it is working closely with people with disabilities and will introduce what it calls a “station assistance service” to help customers without the ability to tap.

So far more than 675,000 customers have switched to Compass.

About 300,000 Compass Cards are tapped on an average weekday.
