U-Pass & Student Transportation

Get Moving with the Universal Bus Pass (U-Pass) in Brandon!

Assiniboine College students in Brandon have access to a free yearly bus pass during their time in classes, commonly called the U-Pass, which allows them unlimited access to public transportation in the City of Brandon. No matter how you typically travel, the U-Pass is useful to have if you ever need it.

The U-Pass is a separate card from your Student ID card. From there, you just need to tap your U-Pass card onto the bus terminal and you’re good to go! If you have a U-Pass card from the 2022/2023 year and have returned to classes in September 2023, your old U-Pass card will be deactivated on September 9th, 2023 and will no longer work after that date.  As such, you will need to retrieve a new U-Pass card from the Registrar’s Office. You will need your Student ID to do this.

Pick up your student ID from any of the following locations, if you have not already received your student ID:

  • Registrar’s Office – Victoria Avenue East Campus
  • LECTT Admin Office – Room P131 – Len Evans Centre for Trades & Technology

If you lose your U-Pass card, you will need to request a new card in order to keep using Brandon Transit. You will need to present your Student ID to the Registrar’s Office to be issued a new U-Pass card.

U-Passes are only to be used by the student who owns the student ID card.
