1. Can drivers make change? Can I get change from the farebox?

No, the driver cannot make change and the farebox does not make change. Please have exact change for your fare, transfer or DayPass when you board the bus. Change is available at the terminal.

2. Is there a way to avoid having to carry correct change all the time? Can I avoid having to buy transfers?

Yes, buying a DayPass for $3 when you board your first buss of the day will allow you to ride all day without paying another fare or buying a transfer - just use your DayPass and you are on your way!

If you intend to purchase a DayPass, you must notify the driver before you put money into the farebox.

Note: DayPasses and all other tickets and passes including discount tickets and passes are non-refundable.

The farebox will read $1 bills only and it cannot make change. If you have $5 or $10 bills, you can get change at the terminal. Change for $20 bills will only be given when a purchase is being made. There is a change machine at the terminal that will give you quarters in exchange for $1 bills. No other bills are accepted by the machine.
