Answer
I am advised by Translink that, due to the wide range of travel patterns and service combinations across the public transport network, an in-depth assessment of the cumulative annual cost of the proposed yLink changes, which remain under consideration, has not been undertaken. yLink card holders would continue to receive a 33% discount compared with standard adult fares.
