Day & Month Passes are valid for unlimited rides until the date and time of expiration printed on the back of the pass. Each time you wish to use the pass after purchasing it, simply swipe it through the card reader. When you hear a beep the pass is recognized as valid and you may proceed to board the bus.
Transfers
Free transfers are provided between RTS buses for a single trip. No inter-agency transfers are available.
Tell the driver you want a transfer when you board the bus. You can only get a transfer upon boarding.
To use a transfer when you board a bus on another route simply insert it into the card reader. When you hear a beep the transfer is recognized as valid and you may proceed to board the bus.
Purchasing passes
Purchase passes anytime and anywhere on your phone using the Token Transit app! Pay with your credit, debit, or commuter benefits card and always have your pass with you.
You can also purchase passes at the HTA online store with a credit card and have them mailed to you.
Bus drivers sell passes on the bus, but only cash is accepted. Important note: If you are not paying a cash fare do not put your money in the farebox until you tell the driver what you want to buy. You will not be refunded for money placed in farebox accidently.
