Starting July 18, Stratford Transit riders will be able to pay their fares using a mobile device.
The HotSpot app, which is currently used to pay for parking within the city, now includes an electronic feature to pay for transit fares. Monthly passes and tickets can be purchased from your mobile phone at any time with a major credit card and securely stored in your “wallet” through the app.
Signing up is easy and offers additional amenities such as monitoring your account balance, ridership history, real-time tracking, alerts and travel planning.
Paper passes/tickets will still be available for purchase and cash is always accepted. A small convenience fee will be added to each transaction.
The following fares will be available to purchase through the HotSpot app:
Available to purchase effective July 18:
- Single ride (Adult, Senior, Student, Affordable) - plus $0.20 convenience fee per ride
- Day Pass - plus $0.50 convenience fee per pass
- Family pass - plus $0.75 convenience fee per pass
Available to purchase effective Aug. 1:
- Monthly pass - plus $2.00 convenience fee per pass
*Please note: monthly passes through HotSpot are not 30-day passes, but instead cover a calendar month only (Aug. 1 to Aug. 31, Sept. 1 to Sept. 30, for example).
