Make a TransHelp payment
TransHelp trips are paid in advance through online banking (available through most Canadian banks), telebanking, pre-authorized payments, by phone, or in person at the bank.
TransHelp passengers:
- Add $37.50 to their TransHelp account when they first become eligible for service. This amount is equal to 10 return trips.
- Keep adding money to their account on an ongoing basis, and then TransHelp withdraws the amount needed to cover the cost for each trip.
- Are responsible for maintaining a positive account balance.
- Also have the option of buying a monthly pass (MPASS).
You can check your fare balance online or through the Interactive Voice Response system (IVR) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Taxi vouchers must be paid by phone or in person.

Monthly passes
A monthly pass (MPASS) costs $124 per month and provides unlimited travel in a single month. To buy a monthly pass, call 905-791-1015.
While Support Persons travel for free, travel companions are not covered by the MPASS. Their fare must be paid separately.
Monthly passes are available on the 15th of every month. A payment must be made between the 15th and 20th of the month for the upcoming month. (For example, you must pay for a June monthly pass between the 15th and 20th of May).
If you want to preauthorize future MPASS purchases, those deductions must be done between the 15th and 20th of the previous month.
If you’re on a pre-authorized payment plan and do not want to purchase an MPASS for the following month, call 905-791-1015 to inform us before the 20th of that month.
Even with a monthly pass, you must cancel your trip 4 hours before the start of your pick-up window. If you don’t, you will be charged the fare for that trip.
