• U-Pass stickers are issued by the institution for each term and are placed on student photo identification cards issued by the post-secondary institution.
• The current U-Pass sticker on the student card is the U-Pass. It must be displayed upon boarding to bus operators and must be with the student at all times on the LRT.
• U-Pass is non-transferable, cannot be resold and may only be used by the student who was issued the U-Pass.
• Students attempting to use transit services with a U-Pass outside the validity period risk a $250 fine for fare evasion. If you do not have a valid U-Pass sticker on your student card, you are required to pay regular fare for transit service.
