The Fee Assistance Program will expand again to incorporate the existing Refugee Bus Pass program and Access-A-Ride options. The program aims at providing individuals and families with access to recreation and cultural programing in the community, along with assistance with the cost of bus passes.

1. LT Fare card

If you prefer to use a physical fare card, you can get a reloadable LT Fare card at our current locations and purchase a pass or load funds. Then simply tap your card at an on-board validator when you board your bus.

The price of $5.00 for the Fare card will be waived until October 1, 2023.

2. Mobile App

If you are a smart phone user, you can download the LT Fare app at the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Once downloaded, you can create an account, load funds, or purchase a pass. To use your funds or pass, simply scan the app's Mobile QR Code Media at an on-board validator when you board your bus. Accounts can also be created and managed on the web portal LTFare.ca. 

3. Debit card/credit card/mobile wallet

Just tap your smart phone, debit card or credit card at the onboard validator when boarding the bus. Your bank card will be charged for the single ride fare. Each tap of the card will be charged for one regular fare, allowing one person to pay for multiple customers.

Don't forget to ask the bus operator for a paper transfer if you need to transfer to another bus.

Please note that your card or mobile phone needs to have tap-enabled functionality.

4. Cash

Just place the exact amount ($3.00) into the coin box. Ask the driver for a transfer if you require one.

Yes, the breeze cards will work until October 1, 2023.

From July 10 until October 1, 2023, the new LT Fare Cards will be introduced at no charge as we phase out Breeze Cards.

Also starting July 10, you can download the free LT Fare app, create an account and buy your pass.

If after October 1, 2023, you still have a balance (rides and/or pass) on your Breeze Card, please visit City Hall or Lethbridge Transit or the Park 'n' Ride to transfer your balance to new media.

The easiest way is to visit the web portal LTFare.ca. Once there, create an account and purchase a bus pass or add funds as a stored value.

Purchases can also be made at the current vendor locations.

• Stored value: Store value is any funds loaded on the LT Fare Card or the Mobile app. When the media is tapped or scanned at the on-board validator, the single ride fare is deducted from the available balance. Unlike activated passes, stored value funds may be transferred to other media registered or linked to a person’s account. Stored value loaded onto a media can also be used to pay for a pass.

• Pass: A pass is a specific product (1 ride pass, day pass, 10 ride pass, monthly pass, etc.) loaded to LT Fare Card or the Mobile app that allows a customer to ride by tapping or scanning the media at an on-board validator.

The City of Lethbridge is no longer able to register your LT Fare card on your behalf.

To register your media, go to LTFare.ca or download the LT Fare app on Android or iOS, and follow the instructions.

To prevent fare evasion, the pass is only available on the media on which it was activated.

When you purchase a pass on the app or web portal, it remains inactive until it's activated. There are two media types where the pass can be activated, the mobile app and the LT Fare card.

When using the app or web portal, you'll need to select the media on which you'd like to activate the pass. Once activated, the pass can only be used on that specific media. This ensures that each pass is used by the rightful owner and prevents unauthorized use or sharing of passes. If the pass is not activated, it will be activated upon the first tap at the on-board validator.

The LT Fare Card is personal and the system will not allow a fare card to pay for more than one person. Each passenger must have their own card with stored value or a pass. However, here are some ways you can pay for companions:

• Have an active pass per companion on the mobile app and scan a pass per person riding with you. See app guide for detailed instructions.
• Tap your debit card, credit card or mobile payment multiple times to pay for multiple people
• Use cash

If you pay with a bank card or cash remember to ask the driver for paper transfers for each person.

Please note that children who are age 5 and under ride for free.

Yes, the LT Fare system allows a rider to link their LT Fare Card or Mobile app to another rider’s account. This will allow for simple reloading of funds or assignment of a pass. Accounts can be linked by using the mobile app, web portal or by visiting a Customer Service Center. See the app guide or web portal guide for detailed instructions.

Priority will always be given to a pass. Stored value will be utilized only if a pass is not available on a LT Fare media.

You can activate the pass that you want to use first. If you tap an LT Fare card that does not currently have an active pass, the longest period pass assigned to the media will automatically be activated in order of purchase. Once a pass is active, it will always be used first. Only one pass may be active on a LT Fare card at one time.
