Using Secured Elevators
We’ve added card readers to most of our elevators throughout the transit system, to help keep them clean, safe and reliable for riders.
Secured elevators
As part of our efforts to keep our elevators as clean and reliable as possible, we’ve restricted access to riders only. Using the secured elevators is free, but requires a valid form of fare payment.

How to use the elevators
Tap the card reader to open the elevator doors
- Tap your valid Hop card, contactless credit/debit card or phone (with mobile wallet enabled) on the black card reader located near the elevator door.
The screen on the reader will say “Elevator Access.” Similar to a Hop reader, you touch your card to the black area below the screen. - Then, press the elevator button.
The elevator door will open. There may be a slight delay if the elevator needs to go up or down depending on your location.
You can also scan the QR code on a paper bus ticket on the QR code reader underneath the device to use the elevator. For best results, hold the QR code approximately 6 inches below scanner.
Important
- Your Hop card, Hop ticket, paper bus ticket, contactless credit/debit card or phone will not be charged for using the elevator.
- The elevator card reader is not a Hop reader. You still need to tap the green Hop Fastpass reader on the train platform or inside the bus to pay your fare.
