Potentially in the future, debit cards may be accepted on card readers.

However, funding has yet to be secured, with construction being expected to begin in 2019. The bridge was the first in Metro Vancouver to have an automated electronic toll system, which collected car information through a series of camera systems.

Service on all modes (including SeaBus, SkyTrain, West Coast Express) continues to operate a reduced schedule during this time, with buses being able to carry fewer passengers than their usual limits. The Surrey Light Rail system was a planned and proposed 27-kilometre network split into two phases: the first to connect Newton with Guildford via Surrey Central and the second to Langley. Trips paid for using stored value have the same value as the current FareSavers.
