 Fare Options

The one-month pass provides unlimited trips every 31 days for $50. If on day 31 you still had $5 left on your card, your next month’s $50 would not be used until that remaining $5 balance was used.

The monthly pass is the most affordable option if you use the bus more than ten times in one month.

The $25 (5 trips) or $50 (10 trips) options are set values. The dollar value gets used over time.

Smart Cards do not expire.
