Fares
Calgary Transit currently operates as a single fare zone, with a flat rate fare for all standard service including bus, BRT, and the CTrain. As of January 2012, a single adult fare is $2.75, or $1.75 for youth. Books of 10 tickets are available at par to 10 fares. Monthly passes are also available, with youth passes for $54.25, and adult passes for $94.00. Seniors (65 and over) pay $40.00 for a yearly pass which is valid from July 1 to June 30 of the following year and which entitles them to travel at any time. All service on Christmas Day and after 6pm on New Year's Eve is free of charge. In order to transfer from one transit vehicle to another, proof of fare from the CTrain, or a transfer from a bus is required. A transfer or proof of fare is valid for 90 minutes from the time of issue, for any transit service (including stopovers).
In cooperation with many of the post-secondary schools located in the city, a Universal Pass (U-Pass) program is offered to all students, paid as part of their tuition.
