Your a-card makes it easier to ride with a support person
OC Transpo will accommodate customers who need the help of a support person to use transit.
Your support person can ride with you for free. You may need to present an a-card to the driver when you board. You will also need to tap this card to get through the fare gates at O-Train stations.
a-cards have a photo of the customer, not the support person. This allows you to bring different support persons with you at different times and on different trips.
