Pay for your transit fare using your contactless credit card or Interac Debit card
Our Compass Card readers accept contactless Interac Debit and credit cards, including American Express, Mastercard, and Visa and mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay).
All you need to do is tap your card or device on the card reader to pay and enter the system. It’s that easy.
No lines when purchasing your transit fare or need to calculate how many zones you are travelling.
Don’t have a contactless credit or debit card?
You can purchase a Compass Ticket from our Compass Vending Machines located at SkyTrain stations, SeaBus terminals, Tsawwassen and Horseshoe Bay ferry terminals, and select London Drugs stores. You can also pre-purchase a second Compass Ticket for your return trip.
Tap in and out at SkyTrain stations and SeaBus stations. There’s no need to tap out on buses, which are a one-zone fare.
If you’re paying by cash on the bus, you will be issued a paper transfer, which allows you to transfer between buses, but not to the SkyTrain, SeaBus, or West Coast Express.
