Important 2020-21 Transit Update
In an effort to maintain recommended social distancing practices, the Brock University Students’ Union has come to agreements with the St. Catharines Transit Commission and Niagra Region Transit system to allow students to access buses using only their valid Brock student card for the fall semester. Students will not need the traditional U-Pass sticker for the fall or winter term.
BUSU will continue to follow and monitor provincial and federal recommendations and guidelines, and work with Brock and our bussing services providers to maintain a a safe transit option for Brock students.
If you do not have a student card, or have lost your student card, please visit
The Brock Card Office, who is now offering online student card fulfillment.
Each year Brock students use St. Catharines & Thorold Transit over 2,500,000 times. Knowing this, BUSU has arranged for over 15 dedicated routes that will get students directly to Brock. We encourage you to download the St. Catharines Transit app (link found on right) so you can be sure to never miss a bus and always know which routes will get you to your destination.
