Metro Vancouver Transit Police are warning riders who fail to mask up that they could be fined 115 dollars.

Police say TransLink has reinstated its own mask rule, which authorizes officers to issue the tickets under the Greater Vancouver Transit Safety Regulation.

Transit police say they're awaiting further guidance from the province about what enforcement mechanisms they'll have.

BC reintroduced a provincewide mask mandate on August 25th, amid rising cases driven by the now dominant and highly-contagious Delta variant.
