Fares and Passes

In December 2022, RMWB Council approved an increase to several user rates, including Transit fares. Starting April 1, 2023, Transit fares for adults and children are increasing by 20-25%. RMWB Transit remains one of the most affordable municipal transit services in Canada, and the increases will help reduce the subsidy paid from the Municipal tax base.

Fares can be paid by exact change, a one-ride ticket or a monthly pass. Drivers cannot make change or sell passes.

Transfers

Transfers are only issued to cash and one-ride ticket holders, and are valid for 90 minutes. If you need to take more than one bus to reach your destination, please request a transfer slip when you pay your fare. Passengers will be allowed to stop over and travel in any direction during this 90-minute period. A transfer is valid on the day of issue and the transfer slip is torn when it expires 90 minutes later.
