BC Transit's long-awaited tap payment option on buses in the Victoria Regional Transit System will soon arrive.
Over the coming weeks, BC Transit says its new Umo electronic fare collection machines will be installed on buses.
The new tap payment method will roll out in two phases. The first phase will allow users to pay with the Umo mobile app or reloadable Umo cards, while the second phase will let riders pay with credit cards, debit cards and mobile wallets.There will be a new "30-day pass" and a "cash balance" pass. Meanwhile, the cash balance system will let riders pre-load money onto their Umo account, which will be drawn every time they board a bus.
"This means regardless of a rider’s chosen Umo product, in transit systems that offer a DayPASS, a rider will never pay more than two times the value of a cash fare for unlimited daily travel."Get the CTV News App for breaking Vancouver Island news alerts
