YRT services many York Region high schools and post-secondary schools. Our schedules provide frequent travel to and from schools during peak times that students will need to travel, such as morning and afternoon rush hours. Trip planning resources
YRT vs. VivaYRT and Viva are part of the same system. Viva is our rapid transit service that operates on a proof-of-payment system. Viva operates along major roads in York Region and services only major intersections, to allow for quicker travel. There are no fare boxes on Viva buses so you must tap your PRESTO, credit or debit card, or activate your mobile fare (Pay App or Transit App) before boarding. Viva stops are called “vivastations.” Each one has a PRESTO card reader and ticket vending machine so you can pay your fare before boarding. If you travel on Viva without proper proof-of-payment, you may be subject to a fine or criminal charge. Visit our Proof of Payment and Transfers page to learn more. Arrive at your stop 5 minutes earlyIt is important to arrive at your stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled arrival time to ensure you meet your bus. |
Paying Your Fare |
Youth faresIf you are between the ages of 13 to 19 you are eligible for YRT Youth fares. Proof of age is required upon request. Visit our Fare Chart for details. You can receive discounted fares using PRESTO, the YRT Pay App or Transit App. |
