👉OC Transpo in Ottawa now accepts credit cards and mobile wallets for adult fare payments on all buses and LRT gates. They're the first in Canada to introduce fare capping, ensuring that daily charges won't exceed the cost of a day pass ($11.25) or a monthly pass ($125.50) as long as the same card or mobile wallet is consistently used. Riders should note that paper transfers will no longer be provided, and credit cards and mobile wallets are treated as separate payment methods, even if linked.✅ . . #OCTranspo #PublicTransport #ContactlessPayments #MobileWallet #CreditCardPayments #TransitPayment #OttawaNews #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

👉OC Transpo fare inspectors issued 287 tickets, totaling nearly $75,000 in fines over 39 days last autumn, according to a report to Ottawa's transit commission. The fines, averaging about seven tickets or $1,910 per day, aim to bridge revenue shortfalls caused by lower ridership. A new fare compliance initiative, launched in January, employs two enforcement officers and two special constables to address fare evasion and other offenses. A pilot in December resulted in multiple tickets and arrests. The initiative will run until April 2024, with its effectiveness under review.✅ .
