Why is my balance 'pending'?

If you have topped up your Bee Card, but not yet tagged on the bus your balance will show as 'pending'.
Your money is sitting there, and will show on your account as you've tagged on.

Do I need a Bee Card if I am a SuperGold, UCOL, IPU and ETC user?

Not yet. For now you just need to show the driver your ID to access free travel. If you are a SuperGold customer and plan on travelling during the hours where you will need to pay, we recommend you use a Bee Card for this.

Do I need to register my Bee Card?

We highly recommend that you do as this means you can top up online, manage multiple cards or transfer your balance if your card gets lost or stolen.
