Transit App- St. Catharines Transit Tickets on iPhone

You are now able to purchase St. Catharines transit tickets on iPhone. Lately, the Montreal-based Transit app partnered with the city of St. Catharines in Ontario to allow mobile fare purchases on iPhone, allowing commuters to skip line ups at ticket machines. The new feature includes a partnership with payment processor and transit ticketing company Masabi, to allow for seamless and secure payments of fares.

This new feature launched in January 2019. There are over 7,000 daily people using the Transit app to get around the city, with 60% taking the bus and now with this mobile fare payment app riders will be able to buy a single-ride ticket, 10-ride ticket, one-day pass and 31-day pass (adult, senior & student, etc.)

You will be able to pay for tickets right within Transit, then just show your ticket to the driver, right from your iPhone. The app supports Touch ID and Face ID based on screenshots. As for in-app Apple Pay support and Wallet integration, they might not be supported.

St. Catharines Transit provides bus service to St. Catharines, Ontario, and the neighbouring city of Thorold. The St. Catharines Transit Commission took over the operation of transit services within the city from Canadian National Transportation in 1961.

The Transit Operations Facility opened in 1991 and the Downtown Terminal (within the headquarters building of the Ontario Ministry of Transportation) opened in 1996. The bus terminal is also served by Greyhound and Coach Canada for intercity coach service to Hamilton, London, Toronto, Buffalo, and New York City, with connections to a number of major cities throughout Canada and the United States.

The Bus Route

The St. Catharines Transit Commission (SCT) operates most of its routes through Downtown St. Catharines, with routes meeting at the Downtown Bus Terminal. Additional main transfer points also exist at The Pen Centre, Fairview Mall and at Brock University.

The majority of the routes operate weekdays using one numbering scheme, while weekday evenings, Saturdays, Sundays and major holidays operate with a separate numbering scheme.

Though it may appear confusing at first glance, many routes interline, meaning that they continue to other routes once reaching their terminus. This occurs at the bus terminal in Downtown St. Catharines, and at both northern and southern terminals.
