How does it work?

When you tap your credit card or mobile wallet, the screen on the fare reader or fare gate will turn green and show "Accepted". You will be charged a regular Adult fare. Paper transfers are not issued for O-Payment.

Tap using the same credit card or mobile wallet to transfer between trips on buses and the O-Train. You won’t be charged again as long as you are within the regular transfer window.

O-Payment is not available on STO and cannot be used to transfer to Para Transpo. Presto is still your best option if you:

regularly transfer between OC Transpo and STO.
regularly transfer between buses, the O-Train and Para Transpo.
are eligible for a discounted fare.

The following payment types are accepted:

Visa card
Mastercard
Google Pay
Apple Pay

The following cards are not accepted:

American Express
Prepaid credit cards
Visa gift card
Mastercard gift card
Visa debit
Mastercard debit
*Debit

Tap tip: Avoid accidental charges by only tapping the card you wish to pay with. Tap your card, not your wallet.

Ride as much as you want!

If you tap outside of the transfer window, you will be charged another Adult fare. But you’ll never be charged more than the price of a DayPass over a period of a day. Each month, you will not be charged more than the price of an Adult monthly pass. The fare is calculated each night and then charged to your card.

OC Transpo is the first transit agency in Canada to introduce daily and monthly fare capping for credit card and mobile wallet payments.

Tap tip: Take advantage of automatic fare capping and transfers by using the same card or mobile wallet each time you tap! If you have a plastic credit card that is also stored in a mobile wallet, they are considered to be different cards, even if they are linked to the same account.
