How to Pay

This section describes how to pay for your fare aboard the bus.

When you are ready to travel, please have your payment ready prior to stepping aboard the bus. If:

Paying with Cash

  • It is important to have the exact change for your fare on hand as bus drivers do not carry change.
  • To pay with coins, insert them into the dispenser at the top of the farebox.
  • If you’re using a bill, insert it through the scanner, located on top of the farebox.

Validating a Umo App

  • Open the app and select Validation Code to display your dynamic QR code.
  • Aboard the bus, present your QR code to the centre of the Umo validator.
  • You’ll know your fare was accepted when you see Umo validator’s checkmark and hear a single beep.

Validating a Umo Card

  • Tap your card at the base of the validator.
