App Description
The Wave by OCTA app makes riding OC Bus easier, faster, and smarter. With Wave, your payments are automatically capped, so you’ll never overpay, and you’ll always get the best fare. No more pre-paying for a daily or monthly pass, just load value and pay as you go. New features include card management, allowing you to add value to your Wave cards directly in the mobile app or at participating retailers using cash; real-time bus information so you can plan your trip; and apply your reduced fare status to your Wave card.
Why the Wave app makes riding easier:
1. Pay as you ride. No need to pay upfront for passes.
2. Daily and monthly fares are automatically capped, so you always pay less.
3. Get a free virtual card; no need to purchase a separate Wave card.
4. Set up autopay to reload value when your balance is low.
5. Load value with cash at participating retailers.
6. Real-time reloads and account management.
7. Manages up to 8 reusable Wave cards in your account.
8. Virtual card displays a large QR code for quicker boarding.
9. Wave cards include a free two-hour transfer for paid rides.
10. Connects to the Transit App for trip planning.
