Fares & Passes
2026 Rate & Fee Changes Effective July 1, 2026
In November 2025, City Council approved a non-uniform transit fare rate increase for 2026 and 2027. The first fare adjustment will take effect on July 1, 2026, with a second adjustment scheduled for January 1, 2027.
These changes support continued transit service and help address rising costs while maintaining affordability for equity-based fare products.

- Approximately 10% increase to Adult fares, Eco Pass and Post-Secondary Semester Passes
- Approximately 5% increase to Senior and High School fares
- No increase to Low-Income and Discounted Social Services passes; current rates maintained

GoPass card
Your GoPass card is reusable. Bring your GoPass to any of our Transit Pass Vendors and purchase more pre-paid ride packages, a calendar month or year of service. The GoPass is smart and flexible—the versatile card for whatever fare works best for you! Choose fare type below for more details.
There is a $5.00 activation fee for any new GoPass or replacement cards.
Register your GoPass at the Saskatoon Transit Customer Service Centre in the downtown transit terminal. One of the benefits of the GoPass Card is that it can be registered. If lost or stolen, the card can be deactivated and the value left on that card can be transferred to a new GoPass card. An additional $5 activation fee will apply to all new and replacement re-loadable GoPass cards.
Registration of your GoPass is voluntary and must be done at the Saskatoon Transit Customer Service Centre in the downtown transit terminal. Any replacements transferred to a new card must also be done at the Customer Service Centre.
