How to Use the Electronic Farebox

Passenger Instructions

Check list for all fares:

• Please have fare ready when boarding bus.
• Try to use exact change. The farebox will not give change, but will issue a change receipt for use on a subsequent bus trip.
• Insert only the designated fare type into its proper opening. (For example, do NOT put coins in the Electronic Fare Card Slot.)
• If a fare payment is rejected, the farebox warbles and the passenger display indicates status (invalid). Then pay fare with another fare type.
• After paying your fare, listen for a beep and check the Passenger Display, this indicates a full fare is paid.
• Check the Passenger Display for important messages. You may be required to respond by pressing buttons on the sides of the display. 

Paying Fares:

Drop either coins or tokens, one at a time, in the Coin/Token Insertion Cup.

Feed flat, unfolded bills (in any orientation) into the Bill Insertion Slot. If you are to receive a refund, the refund amount will print on a fare card for your future use.

Insert electronic fare cards in the Electronic Fare Card Slot, including all electronic single ride fare cards and the first use of any Monthly Pass.

Swipe designated electronic fare cards through the swipe reader in the direction of the arrow with the magnetic stripe facing you. After your Monthly Pass has been activated (inserted in the fare card slot on first use) you can swipe it when you board until the card expires.

Request a Transfer

Ask the driver to issue a transfer only when exiting the bus at the Transit Center.
Remove transfer from the Electronic Fare Card Slot.
(Electronic Transfer is only good for 20 minutes)

Damaged Coins & Tokens

The Passenger Display tells you to retrieve your rejected coins and tokens from the Coin/Token Return Cup.
