OCTA will launch a new contactless fare payment system in October to make riding OC Bus and the upcoming OC Streetcar easier, more affordable and more convenient. The Wave fare payment system allows users to use a physical Wave card, Wave mobile account, or contactless card to pay as they go. Wave card features include:

Visit ocbus.com/buyapass to purchase prepaid bus passes online, or to find a retailer where you can buy a pass. Passes may also be purchased via phone at 714-560-5932, weekdays between 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. Reduced fares are available for Seniors (age 60+) and Disabled Persons (including Medicare card holders)1.

This summer, OCTA will introduce a paperless fare payment system that will allow riders to pay only for rides taken rather than the fixed dollar amount on paper passes. Called Wave, it will include a new account-based system, a reloadable smart card, and a new mobile app.

The future of travel on OC Transit will revolve around our new Wave fare payment card. The Wave card will offer worry-free payments when you travel on OC Bus or OC Streetcar, no matter how many rides you take.

Senior citizens (age 60 & older) must show a valid driver’s license, California DMV ID card, Medicare card or OCTA Senior Reduced Fare ID card as proof of age when purchasing and using reduced fares.
