Using a Post Secondary Pass, qualifying Post Secondary students can take advantage
of 50% savings each month, compared to full cash fare, used twice daily.
If you’re eligible and show appropriate identification, a Reduced Fare Superpass or

Transfers
A “power hour” transfer takes you wherever you want to go by transit for approximately
60 minutes! It is free with your cash or ticket fare. You can make stopovers along the
way or even return trips on one fare as long as you ride within the time limit shown on
your transfer. If you’re unsure of the expiry time, ask your driver. Then ride all you want
until the time expires!
A transfer must be requested when you pay your fare and can only be used by the
person to whom it was issued. Transfers are valid on any regular bus route on the date
of issue and allow travel in any direction, including return trips on the same route, until
the expiry time shown.
