Introducing another way to pay on Burlington Transit - You can now tap onto the bus using your debit card, including the card on your phone or watch.
Simply tap your card, phone or watch on a PRESTO machine when you get on a Burlington Transit bus. When you use debit, the fare you pay is the same as our cash fare.
Most major credit cards, such as VISA, MasterCard and American Express, and debit cards are now accepted. When you tap with your phone or watch, please select the payment card you’d like to use in your mobile wallet. For some phones and watches, you may need to unlock your device before you can tap.
For more information, please visit our PRESTO contactless page.
If paying with debit, some banks may charge additional fees. Before you tap, check with your bank to see if there are debit transaction limits and fees for your account and if transaction limits apply to public transit purchases.
