*Starting February 1, the youth fare age will be adjusted to 18 years and under. This means riders aged 19-24 years who were previously eligible for the youth fare category, will now be in the standard adult fare category.

Students
Riders participating in the Edmonton Public and Catholic School Board transit programs or the U-Pass program must contact their respective school/post-secondary institution for more information.
Youth and students not part of a transit program with a school or institution must apply for concession fare to get the discounted price.
Edmonton Transit Service also permits limited use of the Yellow School Bus Pass on our
system. Each yellow bus pass holder is allowed six (6) trips per pass month on regular
transit service, for travel prior to 8 pm. The yellow bus pass must be punched by the
operator at the location of pickup and considered as payment of one student fare.
