Your U-PASS will become active 24 to 48 hours after purchase.
This means that you will still need to pay cash for the bus during the first two days after buying your U-PASS.
To activate your U-PASS, you must tap your husky card on an orca card reader within 60 days of the quarter start.
Tapping your card on the orca reader updates your chip and activates your U-PASS for transit.
