Fare products can be loaded in the Umo app, to a reloadable Umo card in-person through a BC Transit Umo retail vendor, online at ca.umopass.com, or through Umo customer service at 877-380-8181.
Cash and the Province of British Columbia’s BC Bus Pass will continue to be accepted. Legacy tickets and pass fare products will be accepted until used up. A new Umo compatible Token will be available to support the needs of social wellness organizations that offer free or discounted fare products.
Improved Umo Enabled Fare Products
Cash Balance, an alternative to cash or a Single Ride fare, is a pre-paid dollar amount loaded to a Umo card or app. A Cash Balance value is drawn from by $2.50 when boarding locally or by $4.50 when travelling on the 99 Pemberton Commuter. Student and senior riders are recommended to purchase a Single Ride fare to receive discounted $2.00 local and $4.00 commuter fares.
10 Rides, replacing paper ticket fare products, are available at the same discounted price eliminating the need to keep track of physical tickets. Riders can now load the 10 Rides fare product to their Umo app or card at point of purchase and draw from them as trips are taken.
A digital transfer, removing the need to collect and retain paper transfer slips, is automatically applied to a Umo app or card at onboard validation. Riders then scan or tap their Umo payment method on their second bus within a 90-minute transfer window to continue to travel without incurring an additional charge. A transfer is granted for riders travelling on the 100 Pemberton Local but riders travelling on the 99 Pemberton Commuter to Whistler will need to pay a standalone fare. Separate fares will apply for further travel in the Whistler Regional Transit System.
30-Day, 120- Day, Half-Year, and One-Year Passes, replacing calendar-based fare products, can be activated on any day of the month and provides riders with unlimited travel privileges during a continuous date range. All passes activate on first use, not when purchased. Riders with a Commuter Pass may use their pass on local service in addition to the 99 Pemberton Commuter route.
Riders who have not yet transitioned to a Umo payment method and fare product are encouraged to visit bctransit.com/umo for a comprehensive introduction to adopting Umo, including video tutorials on using the Umo Mobility App and reloadable Umo card. BC Transit’s Umo customer service call centre is also live for support at 877-380-8181 toll-free.
At a future date, BC Transit plans to provincially enable onboard payments with debit and credit cards.
