Important Consideration: If you are studying full-time, the U-Pass (bus pass) is already included in your fall semester fees. You do not have to pay extra for it. This pass lets you use public buses and transit in the city. However, the U-Pass is only for students. If your family members or dependents are with you, they cannot use your U-Pass. They will need to buy their own *PRESTO card or bus tickets from OC Transpo (the local transport service).

PRESTO: It is a reloadable transit card used for public buses and trains in Ottawa. Full-time students get a U-Pass included in their fall fees, but dependents must use their own PRESTO cards or buy separate tickets.
