BC Transit and the City of Quesnel are announcing a fare increase for transit in the region, effective June 29, 2026.
This is the first fare change in the Quesnel Transit system since 2010.
This fare change will see single rides increase from $1.75 to $2.25 and monthly passes increase by $10. DayPASS prices will increase to $4.50 for all riders and will shift to a new DayPASS policy after payment of the second fare. This new policy removes 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 automatically applied to a Umo app or Umo card, or by contactless payment from a credit/debit card after the second Single Ride fare payment of the day.
As part of this fare change, the 10 Ride product is being discontinued.
As the cost of operating transit continues to grow, this fare increase will enable the City of Quesnel to continue to invest in transit service while keeping the overall costs manageable for the community.
