Purchasing a Post-Secondary Student peggo card
A post-secondary Student peggo card must be purchased at the educational institution where you are enrolled. After your initial purchase, you are free to load your card online at one of our retail sales agents, or you can contact 311.
Students will be required to show their valid university student ID to the bus operator when tapping your peggo card. A validation sticker for the school year will be affixed to your student ID by the staff at your post-secondary school or the student association staff, depending on who is sponsoring and managing the post-secondary program at your school. The validation sticker on your student ID is required for all post-secondary users.
Those using a post-secondary card without a Student Card with a valid ID sticker risk having their card confiscated. Your post-secondary pass is for your use only, and it is illegal to sell or transfer it to another person.

Lost, Stolen, or Deactivated cards
We recommend that all post-secondary students register their peggo cards. If you lose a registered peggo card, you will have the ability to recover the remaining value from the card and transfer it to a new card.
Lost or Stolen Cards
If your peggo card is lost or stolen you’ll need to report this. There are two ways you can report your card as lost or stolen:
- You can log into your peggo account and cancel your card, or
- You can contact 311 and they’ll cancel your card for you.
To cancel your card online you’ll need to log into your peggo account and on the Manage My Card page click the Card Lost button. This will trigger the process to cancel your card. It can take up to 48 hours to cancel your card. We cannot guarantee the fares used on your card during this period.
An email with this information on it will be sent to you when you report your card lost. You will receive a second email that will confirm that your card was successfully cancelled. If your card had fares on it at the time you reported it lost you will need to come down to one of our Customer Service Centres (see below for locations). There is a $5.00 charge for replacement cards.
If you contact 311 you’ll need to provide your User ID and login in order to cancel your card.
Replacing a lost peggo card that had unused fares on it
To obtain a replacement post-secondary card and transfer the unused fares from your lost card is a two-step process. After you have reported your card as lost or stolen you’ll need to:
- Purchase a new peggo card at the post-secondary institution you attend
- Bring that peggo card to one of our Transit Service Centres to have the remaining balance transferred to the new card.
Please note that Transit Service Centers do not distribute post-secondary cards. You’ll need to make sure you have a new card before coming to Transit. If your post-secondary card has stopped working, please contact 311 and they’ll walk you through the next steps.

Replacing a lost peggo card that has no fares on it
If you did not have any fares on your lost post-secondary card after you have reported it as lost or stolen you can go to the post-secondary institution you attend and purchase a new card. Once you purchase a new card you can link it to your peggo card account.
Deactivated cards
Post-secondary peggo card eligibility is determined by the institution you attend. If your post-secondary institution determines that you are no longer eligible your peggo card will be cancelled.
Photo ID Cards
If the educational institution does not issue student photo ID cards, you can add a photo to your peggo card. Transit photos are done at our Customer Service Centre listed below:

Monday – Friday: 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
Students must show proof of current registration at the time of purchase.
