Transfers and Connecting Transit

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​As you pay your cash fare, request a transfer from the Operator and you will be entitled to unlimited travel for the duration of the transfer. Transfers expire two hours from the time of issue.​​

Show the transfer to the bus operator each time you board a bus to verify that it is valid. Expired transfers will not be accepted or reissued. Passengers are required to pay the regular fare once their transfer is expired. In the event of a fare dispute, passengers are asked to pay the correct fare and contact Customer Service at 905.874.2999. Keep the disputed transfer and record the four-digit bus number, date, and time of the occurrence.

Important: Transfers are only valid for use by the customer to whom the transf​​er was issued.​

When using PRESTO or a contactless credit card or debit card, an electronic transfer is included with the cost of the fare, allowing you to travel for two hours from the time of issue. If you are connecting to or from GO Transit, the One Fare is automatically calculated on a PRESTO card and contactless credit or debit card.​ Please tap the same card, phone or watch that you started your journey with.​​​
