Transit Apps
The apps that get you moving.
Buy tickets, track your bus, plan a trip, or book a flexible ride, all from your phone. Here’s which app does what.
Transit app
The main app for everyday riding: buy and activate tickets, track your bus in real time, and plan trips on fixed routes in Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Thorold and Welland, plus regional buses between municipalities.
Getting started
Download the Transit app from the App Store or Google Play.
Tap Buy Tickets and choose a fare product.
Select the ticket type and how many you want, then continue to checkout.
Create an account or sign in, and add a payment card.
Choose your saved card to complete the purchase. Your ticket or pass appears at the bottom of the screen.
Activate before you board. A purchased ticket or pass has to be activated before you travel. Tap Activate and pick the ticket or pass you want to use, only activate it when you’re ready to ride.
