Improved Umo Enabled Fare Products
Cash Balance, an alternative to cash and tickets, is a pre-paid dollar value loaded in the Umo app or to a reloadable Umo card. A Cash Balance value is drawn from as riders take trips and will automatically cap after a rider’s second payment of the day converting to a DayPASS.
A DayPASS provides riders unlimited all day local travel privileges. A digital DayPASS is automatically applied to a Umo app or Umo card after a second Cash Balance fare payment of the day.
30-Day Passes, replacing Monthly Pass fare products, can be activated on any day of the month and provides riders with unlimited local trips within their transit system 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.
