Are dogs allowed on Transit buses?
Trained service dogs with registration papers are welcome.

-
Can I buy transfers to other transit agencies through Token Transit?
Yes. Token Transit works with many agencies around the country and you can purchase passes for any participating Transit Agency.
-
Can I have a receipt for my pass purchase?
Yes, but in order to do so, you will need to make sure that you include your email address when you register your account. Receipts will be sent to the email address associated with your account.
-
Can I request a refund?
Passes are not transferable or replaceable. All sales are final. However, if you experience technical issues, please contact Token Transit, at support.tokentransit.com.
-
Do I have to ride all around the Transit loop to get back?
The loop based system offers flexible options for all riders with shorter ride times in most cases. Take a look at your route and see if there is a stop across the road from where you got off.
For example, if you went from Riverdale to the Canada Games Centre (CGC) on Route 2, there is no need to get back on at the CGC and ride the loop all the way through Copper Ridge before heading back to Riverdale. Instead, cross Hamilton Blvd at the CGC and catch the bus at the Hamilton and Valley View stop.

How do I transfer on Transit?
The bus system features a transfer zone along 2nd Avenue from Rotary Park to Industrial Way. Riders can transfer from their bus to any other bus along this zone. If you need to transfer, ask your driver for a transfer slip when you get on the bus. It is important to note, to have a seamless transfer you should get off at transfer zone stop furthest from where you got on. For example, if coming from Riverdale to transfer to Yukon College, get off at the Industrial Road stop, rather than Rotary Park.
