Introduction
Regina Transit is run by the City of Regina.
Fares to ride the transit must be paid with exact change since the drivers do not carry change.
For convenience, you may wish to get a "sheet" of 10 tickets. Fares are reduced for students, who must produce their school transit card when asked for proof of age. These transit cards are not bus passes, and still require the fare to be paid.
| Category | Single Fare | 10-Sheet |

High School Student (with a current Transit card) $42.00, and Post Secondary Students’ passes are $48.00 per month. Senior (over 60 years) can get special reduced annual passes for $185.00.
Regina Transit offers special day and weekend passes, giving you unlimited rides. For the low price of $6.30 the pass is good for unlimited travel on any Regina Transit bus after 09:00 (9:00 A.M.) on a weekday. You can also take the whole family on Regina Transit on weekends for just $6.30 (for up to two adults and three children under 18 years) for unlimited rides on either a Saturday or a Sunday.
Transfers
You will need a "transfer" if you need to use more than one bus to complete your trip, and are using cash or tickets as fare payment. Be sure to request the correct transfer as you board the bus. A TransFare allows unlimited travel in any direction including return trips, but expire one hour after you board the bus.
