Fares
York Region Transit collects exact cash fares in its GFI CENTSaBILL fareboxes, similar to most transit systems in the GTA. Drivers do not make change, and the farebox shows the driver exactly how much money has been put in.
The following are the fares for York Region Transit:

Zone and fare supplements
- Zone Upgrade: $1.00
- York Region’s transit services travel across three fare zones. Zone 1 is anywhere south of King Road in Oak Ridges. Zone 2 is anywhere between Bloomington Road in Aurora and Holborn Road in East Gwillimbury. Zone 3 is anywhere north of Ravenshoe Road in Georgina. A $1.00 cash supplement is required when travelling completely across each zone boundary. The cash supplement is not needed if you only partially travel through the zone boundary (but getting off partially through the zone boundary and waiting for the next bus to pass through the other half of the zone boundary does not count; your VIVA validated ticket will have a code that shows which station you validated your ticket in).
- Customers using cash fare, 1 Zone Tickets, 1 Zone Monthly Passes, or a GTA Weekly Pass must pay the $1.00 supplement if travelling into the second zone and another $1.00 if travelling into the third zone.
- Customers using a 2 Zone cash fare, 2 Zone Tickets or 2 Zone Monthly Passes only pay the $1.00 supplement if travelling into the third zone.
- Zone supplements can be purchased at oneRide and multiRide machines at Vivastations and terminals.
- Express: $0.50
- Passengers using GTA Passes, Monthly Passes, non-express tickets or transfers must pay a supplement of $0.50 to board YRT Express services.
- Get to/from GO: $0.50
- Along with your 50¢ fare, just remember to display a valid GO Transit ticket or pass to your YRT driver. If you are using Viva, you must be able to present valid GO Transit tickets/passes to Transit Enforcement officers upon request.
- When travelling to a GO Train Station, single-Ride, two-Ride and 10-Ride GO tickets must have at least one “un-cancelled” ride remaining.
- When boarding at a GO Train station single-Ride, two-Ride and 10-Ride GO tickets must show the current date/time cancellation from the connecting GO Train or Bus trip.
- Be certain that one of the GO fare zone numbers indicates the appropriate connecting stations.
- GO Transit group passes and employee passes cannot be used with the 50¢ Ride to GO fare.
- YRT and contracted TTC buses connecting GO stations will accept your single-ride GO ticket only if you are leaving a GO Train station.
Customers without valid fares may be subject to a warning or fine.
