BC Transit launched Umo in the Quesnel Transit System in April 2024, introducing the Umo Mobility app, reloadable Umo cards, and improved fare products. Umo was implemented in Quesnel 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. Effective December 1, 2024, BC Transit will cease the sale of legacy scratch-off DayPASS, 10 Ticket, Adult Monthly Pass, and Student/Senior Monthly Pass fare products.
Effective December 1, 2024, fare products sold for fixed-route transit services in the Quesnel Transit System include the following without change to their current price.

Cash and the Province of British Columbia’s BC Bus Pass will continue to be accepted. U-Pass fare products will continue to be offered in collaboration with the University of Northern British Columbia and New Caledonia via Umo payment methods. Legacy 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. handyDART fare products will continue to be sold unchanged.
Fare products can be loaded in the Umo app, to a reloadable Umo card online at ca.umopass.com, at a BC Transit Umo retail vendor location, or through Umo customer service at 877-380-8181. 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.
