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, is a pre-paid dollar value loaded to the Umo app or reloadable card. A Cash Balance value is drawn from at the Single Ride – Adult fare price as riders take trips and can be used to purchase a set fare product.
  • DayPASS, replacing the scratch-off paper DayPASS fare product, provides unlimited all-day travel privileges. Riders travelling on multiple buses outside the 90-minute transfer window are recommended to purchase a DayPASS.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 30-Day Passes, replacing Monthly Pass fare products, can be activated on any day of the month and provides riders with unlimited trips during a continuous 30-day period. A 30-Day Pass activates on first use, not when purchased.

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.
