Sure. Tickets can be purchased through our call center at +1 (647) 477-5500.

Our bus operators can sell tickets at the point of departure only if seats are available for the trip. Tickets can be purchased from the driver only in CASH. The guest must carry the EXACT CHANGE as the driver doesn’t carry change.

 

The recommended methods for ticketing are online through our website or over the phone through our call center to ensure you will have a seat.

 

If you are at the stop, you can purchase a ticket any time before the departure time from the website if the trip is not sold out.

On our Routes page, you can find an interactive map showing all our stop locations with detailed descriptions. Please note that pick-up and drop-off stops may be at separate locations on Eastbound and Westbound trips. Sometimes, the stops are too close to each other and may look like a single point on the map. To ensure you are waiting at the right stop, please zoom in the map as much as you can to see all the stops around that area and click on the bus icon to read the clear stop description.

 

The bus pickup location is also explained on your emailed ticket. If there is any change in pick up point, you will be informed by our team via email, text, or call.

Not all stops have our official signage yet due to legal restrictions. However, we will clearly state where the stop is located on the Routes page on our website and the ticket you receive in the confirmation email. 

 

All our buses are also labelled with the ONEXBUS logo. Our office will inform you if there are any third-party vehicles arranged for pickup.

ONEXBUS reserves the right to assign vehicle(s) based on the number of reservations for a specific trip. We mobilize Highway Coach buses, or 15-Passenger Minibuses based on the demand for a specific trip.

Buses are expected to depart at the scheduled time. If there is a serious delay at the scheduled time, you will be informed via text, email, or phone.

 

To ensure you don’t miss the bus, please arrive at least 15 minutes before the departure time. Please note that if you miss your bus, the ticket is not refundable or transferable to a future trip. You must purchase a new ticket.

We closely monitor all our vehicle movements, and inform our passengers via text, email, or call if there is a service disruption provided the contact information you share while purchasing the ticket is correct.

 

The stop locations are clearly indicated on your ticket, on the Routes page on this website, and you can always contact our Call Center to inquire about the location if you are confused about the stop location.

 

If there is a ticket purchase made for a specific stop, our service will always make the stop to pick you up. Please note that you MUST be at the correct stop location, at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time.

 

Therefore, we do not entertain any claim in the lines of ‘I was at the bus stop, but the bus didn’t show-up’.

No, you don’t need the printed ticket at all. We try to make the ONEXBUS experience easy and convenient. You can simply show the electronic ticket that was emailed to you at the time of booking. Our driver will scan the QR code on your ticket, and you’re ready to go.

One child under the age of two (2) can ride for free if the child is sitting on the accompanying adult’s lap. If the child requires a seat, then a separate ticket must be purchased. We also offer discounted fares for children aged two (2) to ten (10).
