OC Transpo rolls out O-Payment across entire transit system

Sept. 8, 2023
O-Payment will allow customers to pay for an adult fare by tapping a credit card or mobile wallet on fare gates at any station or fare readers on an OC Transpo bus.

OC Transpo has launched its newest fare payment option, O-Payment across the entire transit system. Customers can now pay by credit card and mobile wallet wherever they have access to the system. This includes on all buses and at O-Train Stations.

O-Payment will allow customers to pay for an adult fare by tapping a credit card or mobile wallet on fare gates at any station or fare readers on an OC Transpo bus. Customers can tap the same credit card or mobile wallet to transfer between trips, as long as they are within the transfer window.

OC Transpo is the first transit agency in Canada to introduce fare capping for credit card and mobile wallet payments. Customers can tap their credit card all day and it will never cost them more than the price of a DayPass ($11.25). Customers can tap their credit card all month and it will never cost them more than the price of an Adult monthly pass ($125.50).

Customers should only tap the card they wish to pay with to avoid accidental charges.

O-Payment is not available on STO. Customers who transfer regularly to STO should continue to use a Presto card.

Para Transpo customers have been able to pay with credit card and debit card on Para Transpo vehicles since April 2023 using a separate system managed by Presto.
