OC Transpo riders can now take advantage of monthly fare capping using their Presto card. This new feature makes it easier to manage transit costs without committing to a monthly pass upfront. Simply load funds onto your Presto card and tap as usual for each ride. Once you\u2019ve paid the equivalent of a monthly pass in fares, the rest of your trips for that month are free.<\/span><\/p>\n

This flexibility is great for anyone who isn\u2019t sure how often they\u2019ll travel in a given month. If you only take a few rides, you\u2019ll only pay for those. If you end up taking more, you\u2019ll never pay more than the cost of a monthly pass. It\u2019s a practical way to save without the upfront cost.<\/p>\n

Monthly fare capping is available to all riders, including those with Senior, EquiPass, and Community passes, and works the same way when using credit or debit cards through O-Payment for Adult fares. Fare capping also applies to Para Transpo trips, with rural supplement charges excluded from the cap.<\/p>\n

If you often transfer between OC Transpo and STO, it\u2019s worth noting that fare capping only applies within one system at a time \u2014 for regular transfers to STO, a monthly pass is still recommended.<\/p>\n
