Fares & Passes

What if I need to transfer?

If you board a second bus within ninety (90) minutes of paying for your original trip, the smart technology in the system will identify your next trip as a transfer. If you pay with coins, you will need to ask the operator for a paper transfer. When paying for more than one fare with the R-Card, the second person must request a paper transfer. You need to scan your transfer when boarding the second bus to complete your trip.
