Previously puchased tickets will be honoured but there will be no new sales of transit tickets.

Monthly passes

New passes will not be available until Victoria Hall re-opens to the Public - the Town is working on the ability to offer transit passes online but they are not yet available.

Monthly passes include a photo ID, riders name, date of purchase and expiration. When available, these can be purchased in the Finance Department at Victoria Hall. Photos of each rider are saved so riders do not need to take a new photo each month.

The following hours are effective 4 March 2021
