BC Transit launched Umo in the Squamish Transit System in January 2024, introducing the Umo Mobility app, reloadable Umo cards, and improved fare products. Umo was implemented in Squamish as part of a 30-transit system deployment schedule spanning the province. With this significant milestone completed, the organization is ready to support riders in the next phase of the Electronic Fare Collection System Project.

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.
