Find your way around your new new home with St. Catharines Transit. The city bus service offers safe and reliable transportation to where you want to go, connecting Brock University with Downtown St. Catharines, Glendale Avenue and other the neighborhoods across the city.
Brock University students registered in 1.5 or more credits are provided with a Universal Bus Pass (U-Pass). Your U-Pass gives you access to St. Catharines Transit buses, the Niagara Regional Transit System and other transit systems in the region. U-Pass is effective from the first day of classes until the end of the academic year.
To use your U-Pass, get your bus sticker from BUSU for your Brock student card and you’re good to go. Without the U-Pass, fares are $3 a ride and $8 for a day pass.
