Contactless Payments Now Available on Greater Victoria Buses
Description
Greater Victoria bus riders now enjoy cashless fare payments via credit/debit cards or phones, marking a significant upgrade from the previous Umo system. This contactless payment rollout, delayed due to system upgrades and compliance with credit card standards, aims to enhance accessibility and encourage transit use amidst high gas prices. Initially tested in Whistler with an 18% adoption rate, the project is under budget, and transit advocates look forward to exploring further convenience options in the future.
