Fares


The Regional Transit Pass and Photo ID card must be used for travel on the Rural Partner '500' series of routes.

Fares are set by the Rural Partner. Please contact the Rural Partner Company for more information on their fares and also obtaining a Regional monthly transit pass.


Regional Transit Pass


The Regional monthly transit pass is ONLY available through your rural transit provider:

  • It is accepted on OC Transpo and STO (Société de transport de l'Outaouais) routes. 
  • Valid for a regular fare ride value ($3.30)
  • The 'R' on the pass, stands for Regional (not Rural)
  • The Regional transit pass MUST be paired with the Regional photo ID card as shown in the sample at right.
  • Don't forget to write your new photo ID number onto your monthly pass. Your pass is invalid without this number and it helps to protect against fraud in case the pass is lost.


Regional Transit Photo ID card


The Regional Photo ID card is ONLY available at the following OC Transpo Sales and Information Centres and costs $8.50:

Rideau Centre
  Monday to Friday ... 8:30 a.m. - 9 p.m.
  Saturday .............. 9:30 a.m. - 6 p.m.
  Sunday ................ 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.
