Kids go free!

We're excited to introduce to you one more way we’re making transit more convenient and accessible for all ages.

As of July 1, kids aged 12 and under ride for free on OC Transpo buses, trains and on Para Transpo!

If you’re taking a bus or Para Transpo, simply board without paying a fare.

If you’re taking O-Train Line 1, you can:

Enter at the accessible (wide) fare gate with a fare-paying adult like a parent or guardian.
Tap through the fare gate with your Child card or school board issued Presto card, if you have one.

Scan your transfer when you board the bus, and more!

You may have noticed new fare readers on buses and at O-Train Line 1 fare gates recently. These fare readers have upgraded capabilities that allow more kinds of fares to be tapped and scanned.

Here are what these readers can do:

Scan barcoded fares
Tap your Senior Presto card any day of the week
Tap your multi-day pass or child card
