Unless I'm mistaken, it isn't costing more. The UW U-pass is $81.15 per term. That is $20.29/month. WLU is paying $81.65 per term, $20.41/month. The Conestoga College proposal is for $245/year, or $20.42/month.
Multiplied by the size of the student bodies... 35.9k UW (2014), 17.16k WLU (2010), 44k CC (2014) we get...
$728.411k/month UW
$350.2356k/month WLU
$898.48k/month CC
------
$1977.1266k/month from U-passes across all three campuses.
Or, just under $2M per month income, guaranteed, month-over-month, time without end.
Wow, that's pretty awesome. I could go for $23M per annum, recurring, right about now.
