Youth ride for free all summer on OC Transpo

June 25, 2026

This July 1 to August 31, pre-teens and youth ages 11 to 18 ride free on OC Transpo buses, trains and Para Transpo. Where will you go?

Here’s how to travel for free:

  1. Purchase a $4 Presto card if you don’t already have one.
  2. Set a Pre-Teen (ages 11 to 12) or Youth (13 to 18) pass on your card at participating Shoppers, Loblaws and Real Canadian Superstore locations.
  3. Tap your card on the fare gate or fare reader to board for free!

If you have a Student transit pass through your school, you’re already good to go. Use your Student transit pass to ride for free.

The fun doesn’t end when summer is over. Starting September 1, pre-teens and youth ride free on weekday evenings after 5 pm and all day on weekends and holidays for the rest of the year with a Presto card. Outside of these times, regular fares apply.

Children age 10 and under continue to ride for free every day.

To check what type of pass or discount is set on your Presto card, visit prestocard.ca
