Transit fare evasion
Transit fare evasion
When riding Calgary’s transit system in a fare-restricted fare area, it is a legal requirement for all passengers aged 13 years or older to have a valid ticket, permit, pass or transfer.
Transit peace officers may ask you to produce a valid fare when you board or use a transit vehicle or are within a Restricted Fare Area.
Calgary Transit has a variety of payment options, including the My Fare app, to make your trip as convenient as possible. Remember, if you need to take a combination of bus routes or the CTrain and pay by cash or paper tickets, ask your bus driver for a transfer or hold on to your validated ticket from the CTrain. Your transfer is valid for 90 minutes.
Calgary Transit endeavours to keep transit services affordable. However, fare charges are necessary to help cover costs and maintain our customer commitment to providing a safe, reliable, and clean service. We are also investing in our transit system to keep pace with our growing population and increasing service demand.
