Fares news

Kids go free!

We're excited to introduce to you one more way we’re making transit more convenient and accessible for all ages.

As of July 1, kids ride for free on OC Transpo buses, trains and on Para Transpo!

If you’re taking a bus or Para Transpo, simply board without paying a fare.

If you’re taking O-Train Line 1, you can:

Enter at the accessible (wide) fare gate with a fare-paying adult like a parent or guardian.
Tap through the fare gate with your Child card or school board issued Presto card, if you have one.

Scan your transfer when you board the bus, and more!

You may have noticed new fare readers on buses and at O-Train Line 1 fare gates recently. These fare readers have upgraded capabilities that allow more kinds of fares to be tapped and scanned.

Here are what these readers can do:

Scan barcoded fares
Tap your Senior Presto card any day of the week
Tap your multi-day pass or child card

Introducing OC Transpo Helps

OC Transpo sent its first Tweet in 2010. Since then, how we use Twitter has evolved.

As of May 1, @OCTranspoLive is now @OC_TranspoHelps. This rebranded account is your number one location for customer service support on Twitter.

Let us use more than 280 characters to introduce @OC_TranspoHelps, where customers can continue to find helpful trip information, and to update you on what real-time information improvements are underway.

Introducing Transit, our new favourite app

We have retired our OC Transpo app for iOS and partnered with Transit to provide Ottawa users with free access to the Royale subscription.

You will be able to access the subscription's additional features immediately, as long as you have the latest version of the app.

Introducing new ways to pay on Para Transpo!

Paying for your Para Transpo trip just got easier. All Para Transpo minibuses and taxis now have smartcard readers, giving you the option to pay your fare with a Presto card.

For more flexibility, try paying with a credit card, debit card or with mobile wallet on a smartphone if you are paying a regular Adult fare.
