Calgary Transit operators do not sell tickets or carry change. Therefore, please have exact fare when boarding Calgary Transit buses. If using the CTrain, you will need coins to purchase a ticket from ticket vending machines located at all CTrain stations. Select either adult or youth ticket and deposit the exact fare. Ticket machines do not give change but will accept an overpayment. You will be reimbursed for your overpayment by bringing your ticket to the Calgary Transit Customer Service Centre, 224 - 7th Ave. S.W. Keep your ticket in your possession at all times. If you must transfer to a bus to complete your trip, present the ticket to the bus operator when boarding. Youth fare applies to all persons between the ages of 6 and 14 years old or who are full time students attending school up to grade 12. Students may be required to present identification showing proof of age or school affiliation at the time of boarding. Customers who travel with their pets must pay adult fare for dogs. Service dogs are exempt from paying a fare. All other pets that can be transported in a small cage or on ones person and that are not a threat to the safety of fellow passengers are also exempt from paying a fare.

Premium Express:

Customers using Premium Routes: 128, 129, 130, 148, 174.  are required to pay 50 cents in addition to regular cash fare, ticket or monthly pass. This service is implemented in areas in which the majority of the community is beyond 20 minutes travel time by feeder bus to the nearest LRT station and this service must sustain 44 passengers per trip. Premium Express Service will be removed when LRT is extended and the communities fall within the 20 minute feeder bus travel times.

Transfers:

If you need to use more than one bus to complete your trip, please ask the operator for a transfer when boarding the bus. Transfers are valid only on the day of issue, within 90 minutes of the time indicated. Customers will be allowed to stop over and travel in any direction during this period of time. Transfers must be given to the operator when boarding or kept in your possession at all times when using the CTrain or within fare restricted areas.
