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.

Your U-Pass Card
– This card is separate from your Student ID
– To ride the bus you will need to present both your Student ID and the U-Pass
Card. If you do not have both, there is a chance they may not let you ride.
– This card is for YOU and YOU only. You can not share it with your family
members or friends.
– If your card is lost, damaged or broken, there is a fee of $20.00 to get a new
card.
– If you are returning for a second year of studies, you will need to obtain a new U-
Pass card each year.

Pick up your student ID from any of the following locations, if you have not already
received your student ID:
– ACSA Office, Room 413 – Victoria Avenue East Campus
– LECTT Admin Office – Len Evans Centre for Trades & Technology
– MICA Admin Office- Manitoba Institute Of Culinary Arts Building
