Compass Card Transition

Old Mr Buzzer

Welcome back to On this day in Buzzer Blog history, a look back at the way things were. Today’s post takes us back to a Friday fun post where we asked if you’ve ever forgotten to buy a FareCard at month’s end — then boarded transit without valid fare?

A whopping 52% of you answered Yes.

While this answer seems relatively high, those were pre-Compass Card days, before the implementation of benefits such as Auto-Load and compasscard.ca where you can purchase, load and reload your Compass Card online!

Today, we’re curious to know how you reload get your Monthly Pass.

 

How do you purchase your Monthly Pass?

  • AutoLoad (29%, 22 Votes)
  • I don't use a Monthly Pass (24%, 18 Votes)
  • From a Compass Vending Machine (17%, 13 Votes)

  • Other (11%, 8 Votes)
  • By calling Compass Customer Service at 604.398.2042 (1%, 1 Votes)

If you’re not already set up for AutoLoad, remember to reload your Monthly Pass before November 1st!
