Keep your bus pass for the summer!

Youth ages 14-18 must have a Youth Annual Pass to ride Cherriots.

Be sure you hold onto your pass for the summer so you can ride the bus to all your summer activities!

unbelievable!

We are phasing out our old 30-Day magstripe passes.

Why? Because starting today (June 2), you'll start seeing NEW fareboxes on our buses (Local and Regional), which don't accept the old magstripe passes.

From now on, 30-Day passes will be available on Umo (tap card or app).

BUT! We are waiving the $3 tap card fee until August 31...
..so make the switch today!
