Economical and Convenient

OC Transpo Bus TicketThe Ticket saves you 30% over cash, and with "The Ticket", you'll never have to worry about having exact change.

The $1.00 bus tickets are fluorescent green with black and orange text.
   

The bus ticket cannot be used on the O-Train or on STO service.

Old Bus Tickets

The 95¢ orange tickets will continue to be accepted until December 31, 2008.

Use up your supply of orange tickets by the end of the year, or exchange them at an OC Transpo Sales Centre towards the purchase of new tickets or a pass.

If you use 95¢ orange tickets to pay a full ticket fare, there is no top up, but if you use them in combination with cash, they are worth their face value of 95¢.

Older tickets (issued before August 2007) can be exchanged for their face value at an OC Transpo Sales Centre toward the purchase of new tickets or a pass. However, they are not redeemable for cash.

 

 


     

 

The only bus tickets that will be accepted on the bus as fare are the fluorescent green ($1.00) and the fluorescent orange (95 ¢) OC Transpo tickets.
