Fares
- Lose the coins: All buses and streetcars can give you change for larger bills on a card that can be used repeatedly until it is empty.
- Buy a pass: One-day passes are only $3, meaning they are worthwhile if you plan to ride more than twice in a day. You can buy them onboard, at some stops, and at many locations, including all Walgreens.
- Transfers: RTA and JeT transfers cost extra, and should be bought when boarding for the first time.
Bicycles
- A bike is a great way to get to and from your stop easily, or get to stops you cannot walk to in time. When you are boarding, all buses are equipped with front racks that anybody can use.
