REGINA – Students at the University of Regina have voted in favour of a universal bus pass, according to unofficial results from the U of R Students’ Union.
The referendum question asked students whether the union should negotiate a U-Pass with the City of Regina, that would cost every student $70-90 per semester to provide unlimited access to Regina Transit.
