Upcoming Changes to Fare Product Sales

BC Transit launched Umo in the Fort St. John Transit System in April 2024, introducing the Umo Mobility app, reloadable Umo cards, and improved fare products. Umo was implemented in the Fort St. John Transit System 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 10 Ride Ticket, Adult Monthly Pass, Student/Senior Monthly Pass, and Post-Secondary Monthly Pass fare products.

Effective December 1, 2024, fare products sold in the Fort St. John Transit System include the following without change to their current price:

Fare ProductPrice
Single Ride – Adult$2.00
Single Ride – Concession$1.75
10 Rides – Adult$18.00
10 Rides – Concession$15.75
30-Day Pass – Adult$40.00
30-Day Pass – Concession$35.00
30-Day Pass – College$35.00

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.

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.
