Before you board, it helps to know how payment works. Here’s what to expect when you’re riding with BC Transit.
How to Purchase Fare Products
BC Transit offers a variety of fare products depending on your transit system. Some fare products are only valid on fixed-route scheduled service with On-Request and Health Connections requiring separate fares. Check the fares page to confirm fare product options available in your system.
If available, fare products can be purchased in person at a BC Transit retail vendor, or, in select systems, directly from the bus driver. Visit the Where to Buy page to confirm availability.
How To Pay When You Board
You can pay your Single Ride fare using cash or use a pre-purchased Fare Product when you board.

- Insert coins or bills into the farebox to deposit payment.
Pay with Fare Products
- If you’re using a pass, you’ll need to show your driver for visual validation.
