Fares & Passes

Fare Capping

Fare Capping in an additional fare option for customers to use. Customers who purchase stored value can take advantage of fare capping . Each time you use your stored value, $2.90 will be deducted from your balance. Once you have done three trips in one day, each additional trip will be free, so you will be charged a maximum of $8.70 each day.

If you use stored value over the course of the month, you will not be charged more than $88 a month (31 rides). If you ride more than 31 times in the month, each trip after that will be free.

Depending on how much you ride, using stored value may be an economical way to use Regina Transit! Transfers will work as normal (90 minute window) if you are using stored value at no additional charge. This helps customers financially in two ways: 1) Customers do not have to pay a large sum up front for a bus pass for the month. 2) The system allows the customer to potentially save money by only paying for what they use in a month.

What if I need to transfer?

If you board a second bus within ninety (90) minutes of paying for your original trip, the smart technology in the system will identify your next trip as a transfer. If you pay with coins, you will need to ask the operator for a paper transfer. You need to scan your transfer when boarding the second bus to complete your trip.
