Transfers and Proof-of-Payment
Our two-hour ticket lets you travel on any YRT or Viva vehicle in any direction for a two-hour period with just one fare. Just remember to hang onto your tickets or transfers as proof-of-payment so you can hop on and hop off vehicles.
If you begin your trip on a YRT bus (or a Brampton Transit or TTC bus operating in York Region) you will need to pay the cash fare, deposit a valid ticket into the fare box or show your valid monthly pass. If you will be transferring to another YRT or Viva route, remember to ask for a transfer when you pay your fare.
Viva operates on a pre-paid, proof-of-payment system. There are no fare boxes on Viva so you must purchase tickets or passes prior to boarding and hold onto them in case a Fare Inspector asks for proof of payment. If you are using an unvalidated ticket, you must validate it at a vivaNow machine (located at all vivastations and terminals) prior to boarding. When a ticket is validated, the date and expiry time are printed on the ticket. If you are using a single ride ticket, the date and expiry time are printed on it at the time of purchase, so it does not need to be validated. To transfer to a YRT bus, just show your validated ticket or pass to the bus driver when boarding.
If you don’t have valid tickets, transfers or passes, you may be subject to a fine or warning. Learn more about Transit Enforcement and Fines.
