For transit riders using the cOnnect Pass transit card, passengers must tap the cOnnect Pass transit card on the card reader machine located at the transit vehicle door, and the transfer request will directly take place on the cOnnect Pass transit card. For transit riders who would like to pay by cash, a transfer ticket will be provided.

An Orillia transfer is valid for 45 minutes from the time of issue and is valid as part of one continuous trip from origin to destination. Transfers are non-transferable and have no cash value
