• Once registered, employees can reload funds online at https://reload.onyourway.guelph.ca/Login or in person at authorized Guelph Transit vendors.

• Load your card with as much money as you want, whenever you want.
• Any balance remaining at the end of the month stays on the card for future use (no expiration).
• If you ride less, you’ll save money compared to purchasing a monthly pass.
• Once you reach the monthly fare cap, the rest of the rides are free for the month.

• Eligible employees receive a reduced transit rate at 80% of the regular adult fare.

Example: If you take 33 rides, you’ll pay $75.90. After that, all additional rides within the month are free.

The monthly fare cap applies as follows:

• The cap starts at 12:00 a.m. on the 1st day of the month and ends at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the month.
• This system is beneficial for riders who typically don’t use the full monthly pass, saving you money.
• For comparison: A typical monthly pass costs $89.60, but with this system, you only pay for what you use.

Riders have 90 minutes to transfer between buses.

This allows more flexibility in planning your trips.

If the transfer time exceeds 90 minutes, a new fare will be charged for the ride.
