The days of fumbling with change or racing out to buy bus tickets are coming to an end for Victoria transit riders.
Once it is rolled out, Umo will replace the current fare payment system. Riders will be able to pay with a mobile app, reloadable card, debit card, credit card, and mobile wallet.
“These new payment methods will increase access to transit by removing barriers such as requiring riders to continually pre-purchase tickets and passes or carry exact change,” BC Transit said in a news release. “The new payment methods will be implemented in two phases, initially enabling the Umo mobile app and reloadable Umo card payments before payment by credit card, debit card, and mobile wallets will be enabled.
Umo will also introduce changes to the fares, including introducing a 30-Day Pass that will replace the Monthly Pass. It will provide the same benefit of having unlimited long-term fares but riders will no longer have to wait until the start of the calendar month. This pass will cost the same as the current monthly pass.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.
For riders who use the DayPASS, the Umo system will be set up to have the daily fare capped on the second fare and automatically converted to a DayPASS. “This means regardless of a rider’s chosen Umo product, in transit systems that offer a DayPASS, a rider will never pay more than two times the value of a cash fare for unlimited daily travel,” the news release said. “Cash will continue to be accepted for single ride and DayPASS fares.”
