To accommodate customers, some retailers have taken the initiative to sell single bus tickets upon request. Note that for various reasons, this type of service cannot be expected from all authorized outlets.

Paying your fare on the bus
Drop your bus tickets (and any applicable supplement) in the fare box beside the driver.


Transfers: A bus ticket entitles you to a transfer. If you pay your fare using a bus ticket and you must take more than one bus to reach your destination, ask the driver for a transfer when you first pay your fare.

The transfer is accepted without a supplement on regular STO and OC Transpo bus routes until the latest time shown, which is two hours calculated from the time the bus leaves the terminus.

An exception applies to all trips on route 96 and to some trips on route 33 which have Les Promenades and Ottawa as the departure and arrival terminus. Riders on these trips are entitled to a transfer that is valid for three hours since their route is longer. However, trips on route 33 leaving from, or heading to the Freeman terminus are not included in this exception.

You must pay a supplement if you board express ($0.50) or interzone (adult: $3.05 / student-senior: $2.30) buses.
