The smaller, more accessible cards were announced and released last December. They’re a smaller version of the original Compass Card and are designed to easily attach to keychains and backpacks.
They work the exact same way that a Compass Card or wristband would be used and can be loaded at a Vending Machine, by phone, or in person. Like other Compass products, there’s a $6 refundable deposit for purchasing the Mini.
When they last released on December 6, 2019, they were surprisingly popular, drawing lineups at Customer Service Centres at Stadium-Chinatown Station and the West Coast Express Office at Waterfront.

They were even spotted on CraigsList, being resold for as much as $50.
This time around, they’ll be available only at the Stadium-Chinatown Stadium. It’s unclear just how much quantity TransLink has but they say they’ll notify the public when supply runs low or sells out.
