As Arc, the regional electronic fare payment system, is now available to all ETS riders, ETS paper passes and tickets, including the Family/Day pass, will no longer be available for purchase starting November 9.

Family/Day passes with an expiry date of 2024 will continue to be accepted as valid fare until the end of 2025.

For updates and more information about this change, visit Transit News and Events.

Day Pass

The Day Pass allows unlimited travel on ETS, for a single day, from start of service until end of service, for one adult for $10.25. This includes Late Night Owl service, which runs after midnight.

The Day Pass is also transferable and can be used any day of the week.

Family Pass

Family Pass provides unlimited daily travel on ETS for up to 5 people (maximum of 2 adults over 24 years old) for $10.25. The Family Pass is valid on the bus, LRT and event shuttles.

ETS is using the same pass for the Day Pass and the Family Pass.

Purchase

Family/Day Passes can be purchased anywhere ETS fare products are sold.

How to Use

  • Bus: hand your unscratched Family/Day Pass to the operator who will mark it for you or will instruct you to do so.
  • LRT: Mark the year, month and day that you are using the pass. Attempting to ride without a marked Family/Day Pass may result in a $150 fine for fare evasion.
Arc
  • Arc offers a similar product to the Day pass so riders are still able to travel at a similar price point throughout the day. Arc cards have a daily fare cap of $10.25 and riders can also purchase a 24-hour single-use Arc ticket.
    • Tap your Arc card or ticket on a validator when entering a bus or LRT station then tap off when exiting. The 24 hours starts after your first tap.
  • Arc does not offer a Family pass but multiple Arc cards can be linked to one account; you can load money to each individual card using the same account.
