Fare and fare product changes coming Agassiz-Harrison and Hope Transit System on October 1
Transit System: Agassiz-Harrison, Hope
2 September 2025
BC Transit, the District of Kent, Village of Harrison Hot Springs, District of Hope and the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) are advising riders of price changes to transit fares and changes to some fare products in the Agassiz-Harrison and Hope Transit System effective October 1, 2025.
Following a fare review process that included consultation between BC Transit, local municipal government partners and the FVRD, the fare collected for a 30-Day Pass for adults will increase to $50, and the 30-Day Concession Pass for seniors and students will adjust to $43. Prices for single ride fares and DayPASS fares will remain the same until they increase in 2027.
There will also be a shift to a new DayPASS policy after payment of the second fare. This new policy removes the 90-minute time restricted digital and paper transfers and instead allows passengers unlimited travel during the day at the price of two single fares. DayPASS is available for purchase aboard the bus with cash or is automatically applied to a Umo app or Umo card after the second Single Ride fare payment of the day.
Also effective October 1, the 10-Rides fare products will be discontinued and no longer available for purchase through Umo. Customers currently using these products can transition to using Umo Cash Balance to pay their Single Ride fares. Any unused legacy fare products remaining in customer accounts will remain valid until used or expired and will retain their original transfer rights.

The cost of operating transit has increased, as has the demand for service with an ever-growing population. This fare increase will support the ability of BC Transit and the FVRD to improve and expand on service in the region in the coming years. All decisions around fares and service levels in the Agassiz-Harrison Transit System are determined by our local government partners.
