Route Overview
Ready To Register?
We use a blended pricing model at UBC TriDu. There are three tiers (1, 2, and 3), ranging from least to most expensive (1 being the least expensive). Once one tier fills up, or the cut-off date for that tier passes, we move to the next tier. Each tier has a maximum capacity. The earlier you register the cheaper it will be!

-
- Tier 1: October 1, 2026

- Tier 2: November 1, 2026
