Station. At the Mountain Transit Centre transfer point (served by route 27) and a contract with Blue Line Taxi, the HSR also connects with other areas in the northwest portion of the former Glanbrook. In addition, the HSR is connected with Burlington Transit, as one route (11 Parkdale) travels into Burlington via Burlington Beach, 18 Waterdown connects with BT at Aldershot GO Station, and BT Route 1 enters downtown Hamilton from Plains Road West. Also '9 Rock Gardens' travels into Burlington going into the Royal Botanical Gardens during the summer months. Other terminals and loops Frank A. Cooke Transit Terminal On September 4th, 2022 the City of Hamilton renamed the MacNab Transit Terminal to Frank A.

Fares Metrolinx and HSR have partnered to operate the Presto electronic fare card. The project aims to standardize fare collection systems across transit agencies in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. The system is currently operational. Frequent HSR riders can take advantage of the frequent rider discount program. For any given week (from Monday to Sunday), bus rides after the first 11 trips (8 under the HSR Fare Incentives for Ridership Recovery initiative) will not be charged. Students of McMaster University, Mohawk College and Redeemer University are eligible to receive a complimentary HSR U-Pass. The U-Pass is loaded onto a Presto card and allows unlimited travel across the entire HSR, with free 2-hour transfers from HSR to other transit agencies in the 905 area. Paper tickets and monthly passes were discontinued on October 31, 2020. Paper fare medias were accepted until December 31, 2020. All new passes, including the Golden Age Pass, are only available through Presto card. As a way to incentivize transit usage during the recovery of COVID-19 pandemic, HSR launched HSR Fare Incentives for Ridership Recovery initiative on November 1, 2021. For a limited time, children aged 6–12 with a valid Presto card can ride on HSR for free until April 30, 2023. Number of rides to be eligible for the Presto loyalty program has been reduced from 11 rides per week to 8.
