Student bus passes
If you’re enrolled in at least one on-campus course for credit, you’re automatically charged for a U-Pass as per UVSS/GSS policies.
Starting September 2023, you’ll need to use the new Umo mobile app or a reloadable Umo card to show proof of payment on all buses in the Victoria Regional Transit System. The 糖心视频 ONECard will no longer operate as your bus pass.
Activate your U-Pass
You can choose to use either the Umo app or a reloadable Umo card as your U-Pass—you cannot use both. As the app includes travel tools such as real-time information, maps, and alerts, it is BC Transit’s recommended fare product.
