Fare Information
How to Pay your Fare
Pay your fare using our DiriGo Pass smartcard or smartphone app (preferred) or pay exact change in cash.
Starting Summer 2026, you will be able to pay by tapping your credit/debit card or smartphone wallet — no cash or app needed!
Special notes for those paying cash – If you prefer to pay cash, you can! Drop the exact fare into the fare box and proceed to find a seat. Drivers cannot make change. If you need to transfer between services, you’ll need to pay another fare. Passengers paying with cash are not entitled to free transfers or fare capping benefits.
