OC Transpo is in the process of upgrading its fare readers on the agency’s buses. The new fare readers feature a barcode icon with arrows pointing to a scanner underneath the reader, allowing users to pay for fares with a credit card or mobile wallet.
Until the fare readers have been fully installed across the system, customers should continue to board at the front and show their transfer to the operator.
Smartcard fare readers are also being installed at all O-Train Line 1 stations. The new green fare readers on the other fare gates will be activated when installation across the system is complete.
