Transfers

After paying your fare with cash, please request a paper transfer from the operator. Your transfer gives you 60-minutes of unlimited travel on any route except the route you boarded and obtained your transfer.  When you board your next bus/route, scan the barcode on your transfer at the fare box. Keep your transfer in a safe place so you don't lose it.

When using an electronic disposable or reloadable smart pass (example, a Multi-Ride pass), transfers are automatically calculated and provide 60-minutes of unlimited travel on any route except the route you boarded and obtained your transfer.

Monthly and Affordable Monthly Passes have unlimited transfers.

Once your transfer is expired, you will need to pay a new fare. In the event that you experience a problem, pay your fare and contact us at 613-546-0000, making note of the four-digit bus number, date, and time of the event.

Note: Transfers are only valid for use by the customer to whom it was issued
