Saskatoon Transit has resumed reloadable smart card sales and reloads following a temporary disruption caused by a software update. Customers can now visit a participating vendor or the Transit Customer Service Centre to purchase or reload a new smart card.

During the disruption, active fare products on reloadable smart cards continued to function normally. Mobile tickets through the TGo and Transit apps and cash fares also remained available. Valid fare payment is required on Saskatoon Transit vehicles.

As a reminder, starting September 1, 2026, old smart cards will no longer work. Riders with old cards are encouraged to exchange them for a new reloadable smart card before September 1. The $5 card activation fee is waived when exchanging an existing card. Existing cards with balances must be transferred at the Transit Customer Service Centre.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while this issue was resolved.
