Cobourg Transit Smart Cards are now available

By Cecilia Nasmith


The Town of Cobourg is pleased to introduce reloadable Cobourg Transit Smart Cards, now available for riders who would like to pay their fares in advance – or utilize the convenience of contact less payment.

Cobourg Transit Smart Cards are available as a monthly pass, or as a 10- or 20-Ride Pass, with a one-time $5 fee for the first card purchased.

“We are pleased to offer our Cobourg Transit riders the option to purchase Smart Cards as part of our continual improvements to the public-transit sector,” Director of Public Works Laurie Wills said in the announcement.

“The Smart Cards provide a convenient way to pre-purchase rides for yourself or someone else, and avoid needing cash or tickets.”

The monthly pass is $60 for adults, $50 for students and $30 for seniors. A 10-ride pass is $20, while a 20-ride pass is $40.

You can make your purchase at cobourg.ca/smartcards and choose to receive your card in the mail, pick it up in person at Victoria Hall (55 King St. W.) or – for an extra service charge – by courier.

After the first purchase, subsequent passes will be loaded on to the customer's existing card and can be purchased by calling 905-372-4555, visiting the Finance Department in Victoria Hall or going to cobourg.ca/smartcards.

The 10- and 20-ride passes can also be reloaded on-board any transit vehicle.
