Codiac Transpo will switch to reloadable fare card

Codiac Transpo is aiming to make transit payments easier by transitioning to a new reloadable fare card.

These new cards will be available for purchase beginning on May 4 at the same points of sale that disposable fare cards were, as well as through Codiac Transpo’s new online portal.

New fareboxes will be installed on all buses between May 4 and 11, during which time transit service will be free to avoid potential payment issues during installation.

Afterwards, riders should be able to pay using the new fare card, the Codiac+ app, or cash. Disposable fare cards will not be accepted starting on May 12, 2026.

The new account-based system will allow riders to register these cards online so they may be reloaded from anywhere. Card balances can also be protected if registered online in the event of a lost or stolen card.

The City of Moncton said seniors aged 65+ and students eligible for discounted 30-day passes will be required to do one-time validation by presenting valid identification in person at the Codiac Transpo headquarters.

Director of Public Transit Angela Allain said the goal of the switch is to enhance Codiac Transpo’s service by modernizing it for convenience, efficiency, and user-friendliness.

Old fare card balances can be transferred to the new cards by contacting Codiac Transpo support or calling their phone number.
