You may now create an online account for yourself, allowing you to view your expiry date, renew your pass, and change your contact information. You can also check your expiry date at the Admission Gate and in the Information Centre.

We have installed a self-serve scanner in the Information Centre that will display your expiry date when you swipe your pass through it.
