The Universal Bus Pass (U-PASS) provides all UBC Okanagan students with affordable access to BC Transit in the Kelowna (and surrounding) area.
During the Fall/Winter semesters, the U-PASS fee is included in your tuition and student fees semester instalment; in the Summertime, the U-PASS is optional and available for purchase at the same semester rate.
Effective May 1, 2024 and onwards, you will need to either use cash, scan an UMO physical card, or use scan the UMO app. Scanning of Student ID cards on transit is no longer used and have been replaced by the two UMO options.
All transit service on-campus is between the Administration (ADM) building and the Engineering, Management and Education (EME) building, please see the UBC Okanagan Transit Exchange map further down this page for more details.
