VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – It was cash-only for anyone trying to make a payment at any of the Compass Vending Machines (CVM) at Canada Line, Expo Line, or Millennium Line stations for some time Friday morning.
TransLink said the CVMs were experiencing technical issues, meaning they were not accepting any card payments.
“We are working to resolve this issue and thank you for your patience,” wrote the transit authority on Twitter just before 6 a.m., noting customers were still able to tap credit cards at faregates to get through.
The issue was fixed more than an hour and a half later.
“Compass Vending Machine technical issues have been resolved,” TransLink wrote in a tweet Friday.
#RiderAlert Compass Vending Machine technical issues have been resolved at the #SkyTrain Canada Line, Expo and Millennium lines. They are accepting credit and debit cards again. Sorry for the inconvenience. ^MR
