BC Transit to end sale of legacy fare products, introduces Umo-enabled alternatives
BC Transit is reminding riders that, as of Dec. 1, it will stop selling legacy fare products, including 10 Ride Tickets and Monthly Passes, in the Skeena Regional, Terrace Regional, and Kitimat transit systems. The transition will see these products replaced by Umo-enabled options, which aim to enhance convenience and flexibility.
The new fare structure will provide alternatives such as single rides, 10 Ride passes, and 30-Day passes, with prices comparable to the current legacy fares. Riders will now be able to manage these fare products digitally through the Umo app or a reloadable Umo card. These fare products can be purchased online, in person at local retail vendors, or through customer service.
For Route 11, which connects Terrace and Kitimat, fares will be slightly higher compared to local routes, but multi-ride and 30-day options are still available. Cash payments and the BC Bus Pass will remain accepted, and legacy fare products will continue to be honoured until used up. In addition, BC Transit is introducing a Umo-compatible token system to assist social wellness organizations in providing free or discounted fare options for those in need. The new system will also feature digital transfers, allowing riders to transfer between local buses within a 90-minute window without extra charges, except when transferring onto interregional routes such as Route 11.
