Vision Vancouver mayoral candidate Gregor Robertson says he made a mistake.

He has now paid the $173 fine he received after travelling two zones on Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain system last year.

He had only paid for a one zone ticket. He had planned to dispute the fine, but has decided not to.

He says the issue was taking the focus away from more important issues in his mayoral campaign.
