Students at the University of Alberta have voted in favour of mandatory bus passes, a move that will cost students an extra $75 every term.

A vote held earlier in the week saw 84 per cent of students in favour of the passes, which will be mandatory regardless of whether or not they ride on transit.

"We really needed to make sure that it was affordable for students because it's mandatory. We didn't want students who don't use transit as often to be put at a disadvantage, so at $75 for four months, it's about one round trip a week."+ @, c( Y* L+ j) {$ U6 r o
