Fares will soon be collected onboard Codiac Transpo buses again.
The Transit operator has installed barriers around the drivers, and that will allow collection.
Masks are still required on buses, and the capacity remain at 50 per cent.
Fare collection will begin on August 24th.
Tickets will be available at retailers in the coming days.
Other changes to take effect on all Codiac Transpo routes:
– Passengers will notice polycarbonate barriers installed on all buses. Numerous buses have been outfitted with the new barriers already;
– Passengers will enter the front doors, follow directional arrows, and exit via the back doors (with the exception of those that require the front door for mobility needs);
– We are not accepting 10-ride and 20-ride punch passes to reduce contact on the bus. In lieu of these, we are now selling 10-ride and 20-ride pass booklets;
– For those passengers that have old 10-ride and 20-ride punch passes, these will be exchanged in the fall and passengers are asked to hold on to them until then;
– Monthly passes for the month of March will be valid for the month of August;
– Those that purchased April monthly passes must contact Codiac Transpo to be exchanged;
– To reduce contact between operators and passengers, transfer tickets are available above the hand sanitizer upon entering the bus. Passengers are asked to use the honour system and only take transfer tickets if they require them;
– Group passes are not currently available for sale;
– Regular fare exemptions will continue which include free service for seniors (65 and older) on Wednesdays, and those under 18 years old in Dieppe who register
