‘TAP IN TO WIN’
Congratulations to this year’s inaugural ‘Tap In to Win’ winners.
Thousands of you registered to participate in our Tap In to Win program. This amounted to a significant number of journeys and a bus load of prizes given away through your eligible transit trips, online contests, and through our prize wheel at in-person events.
Why?
To thank you for sticking with us throughout the pandemic.
It’s been a long two years, and we really appreciate your resilience. As we transition back to more normal routines we want to support you in exploring, reconnecting and rediscovering Metro Vancouver with the opportunity to win some amazing prizes from great local partners.
Prizes
We gave away electric bikes, Stay & Play Packages (including a hotel stay, restaurant gift card, and a voucher to a local attraction), a BC Ferry Vacation, a Sports Fan Experience Package, annual Compass Cards, and the grand prize of a $10,000 flight voucher.
Annual Compass Prize
Winner: Alice
From: Vancouver
Won in: February
"I Love taking the SkyTrain because I can enjoy the views! I've been taking the subway in Seoul, but because it's underground, I couldn't see much. I'm excited to take the West Coast Express, Evergreen Extension, and SeaBus now!"
Monthly Prize (e Bike)
Winner: Salman
From: Vancouver
Won in: February
"I use transit quite a lot. It's both an efficient and convenient way of getting around Vancouver. It's exciting to win the bike! Nothing beats going around downtown on a little power commute of my own."
Annual Compass Prize
Winner: Shelly
From: Port Moody
Won in: February
“I've been riding the West Coast Express for over 8 years for my work commute. I like having a view of the water and natural landscapes. In my life, I have rarely won anything so this was a great surprise! Very grateful.”
