Saskatoon Transit tools to launch online reloading options October 20
October 19, 2026 - 1:18pm
Starting October 20, Saskatoon Transit customers will have more ways to manage their fares with Version 8 of the Transit Go app (TGo) and an updated online Rider Portal.
These updates build on the launch of reloadable smart cards, which brought mobile ticketing and physical smart cards together on a single fare platform. Beginning October 20, customers can download or update the Transit Go app or visit the online Rider Portal to purchase fares, reload smart cards, check balances, view purchase history and manage their accounts online for most standard fare products, without visiting a vendor or the Transit Customer Service Centre.
This modernization allows up to five smart cards to be linked to one account, making it easier to manage fares for family members or groups. The desktop portal will support printable ticket purchases. It also introduces an optional stored-value feature, allowing customers to add funds to their account, pay fares using a Tap & Ride barcode, and purchase or reload fare products using their balance.
Riders who already use mobile tickets can continue using them as usual. Participating vendors and the Transit Customer Service Centre also remain available. Cash will continue to be accepted on board.
Some fare products, including those requiring eligibility verification or entitlement renewal, may still require an in-person visit.
Creating a Justride account helps customers manage their linked cards and account information. If a linked smart card is lost, customers can contact the Transit Customer Service Centre to ask about cancelling the card and transferring eligible remaining value or fare products to a replacement.
For more information about the updates and available features, visit saskatoontransit.ca/mobile.
Have questions? Contact Transit Customer Service at 306.975.3100 or transit.services@saskatoon.ca.
