Transit just got easier! Tap to Pay with a physical or digital credit or debit card.
Beginning December 8, transit riders across the Edmonton region (Edmonton, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan, Spruce Grove, St. Albert, and Strathcona County) have the option to pay for their fare by using a physical or digital credit or debit card.
Riders can now pay using:
Arc cards and tickets, as well as cash fare on buses will all continue to be accepted as valid fare payment.
The new fare options will be available in all regions using Arc, providing a more convenient and flexible way to pay for and take transit. Riders are not required to set up an account to use their physical or digital credit or debit card and can conveniently tap on and off transit without needing to load an Arc card, or carry exact change or paper tickets and passes.
When riders use the same payment method every time, they will benefit from daily and monthly standard adult fare caps. Physical and digital versions of the same card are considered to be two different cards, and will have separate fare caps—so riders should pick one fare payment method and use it consistently.
Tapping to pay with a physical or digital credit or debit card will also be available to those with “fare concessions,” or discounted fares—including seniors, youth and individuals experiencing low income—but will require them to apply the concession to their account at myArc.ca.
For the 2025-26 season, ETS and Edmonton Ski Club have partnered to bring a 20% discount on lift tickets to Arc card holders! Simply show your Arc card or ticket and start saving.
Getting there is easy. Park for free at Davies Station, grab your gear and hop on the LRT to get to the Edmonton Ski Club via Muttart Stop. Please note: skis and snowboards are allowed on the LRT but please ensure your equipment is not disrupting other riders.
Not a skier or snowboarder? Edmonton Ski Club has fun activities for the whole family, like snow tubing and nature luge.
See you on the slopes!
