Smart Card User Guide
A very handy user guide with information about the use of the Smart Card is issued with every card at the time of purchase. About the same size as the Smart Card when folded up, the guide was designed with a durable hardcover containing a special pocket for safekeeping of your card.
What to do when your card gets lost or stolen, or when it does not scan when you board the bus … it’s all there for quick reference.
The user guides arrived two days after Smart Card sales had commenced. Please drop by the Info Kiosk at the Hub or any Smart Card kiosk or vehicle to get yours now.
