O-Train or on STO service.


Old Bus Tickets

The green ($1) and the orange (95¢) tickets will no longer be after July 1, 2009.

The pink ($1) tickets will be accepted until December 31, 2009.

Use up your supply of green and orange tickets by July 1, 2009, or exchange them at an OC Transpo Sales Centre towards the purchase of new tickets or a pass.

If you use $1.00 pink 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 $1.00.

Older tickets 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. Old tickets can be exchanged any time, before or after July 1, 2009.
