Putting it into context:
Those that find it expensive to text are people who don't have text plans. Some refuse to text based on principle (it's the most expensive bandwidth on the planet at something like $1000/MB).

$0.15 (assuming receiving is free) is a 5% increase to your $2.75 transit fare.

Word to the wise. If you don't text much but you have a data plan: bookmark this url:
http://m.translink.ca/stop/12345 (replace with your stop number)

The page is 3KB, so if you don't have a dataplan a text may be cheaper.

The iphone version:
m.translink.ca/?i
