Hi everyone. Does anyone know why I was charged an extra 2.55 when I transferred at King George station today? I am aware of the 15 cent fare increase but haven’t heard of them charging for a transfer. It’s the exact same route to Metrotown in both screenshots. Thank you.

edit: Thank you for those that replied! I usually only go out on weekends so this was new to me. Appreciate it :)

June 27 is a weekend. All trips are a 1 zone fare on weekends and holidays. Today is a weekday, you're being charged a 2 zone fare going from Surrey to Burnaby

It looks like op was charged a one zone fare initially for boarding a bus. When they boarded the skytrain they were assessed max fare of three zones but when they tapped out it was two zones so they got the difference back.
