CityBus has begun selling a Day Pass, which allows riders to board as many buses as they need for the rest of the day, all for only $2.
Riders can buy the pass from the driver. Simply ask for the pass and place two dollars in the farebox. Upon payment, the farebox will issue a pass that is electronically encoded for unlimited rides until service ends for the day. To use the Day Pass, insert it into the farebox upon boarding. The farebox will quickly check for validity and then reissue the pass back to the customer. Expired passes are not reissued, and passengers presenting expired passes must pay another fare.
Martin Sennett, general manager, said CityBus is offering the Day Pass as a convenience for riders who pay cash fares or need to make transfers. “Two dollars is the same cost as a round trip on CityBus,” he said. “Many riders who go one way will make a return trip later. But now riders can pay once for all their rides for the day. The Day Pass will make it easier to transfer when more than one bus is needed to complete a trip.”
