Cash Fares

Cash is only accepted when boarding at standard bus stops with blue metal signs. When boarding at BRT stations, use cash to buy tickets at vending machines before you ride.

Using Cash / Old Fare Items

• Cash is not accepted on buses boarding at BRT stations. Buy single tickets and 1-day passes using automatic ticket machines on most platforms.
• Trade in your old fare items! Paper transfers and old fare items ARE NOT accepted when boarding at BRT stations. These items will be discontinued in 2025.
• Have your pass or exact cash fare ready when boarding standard buses.

Tap your Fast Fare card every time you ride. You'll receive an automatic 2-hour transfer in your account. You won't be charged within the 2-hour transfer window.
