FARE
INFORMATION
Although
the BTCo is one of the few large independent Transit Operators in the country,
this does not mean that riding the BTCo is not a great deal as well!
Travel
on BTCo is easy and convenient, and numerous fare methods such as tokens
and passes can make riding even more economical.
Cash
and Token fares must be paid in exact fare upon boarding the vehicle.
In order to speed the ride for everyone including yourself, please have
your fare ready to deposit, not tucked away in your wallet or pocket.
There are no zone fares on BTCo vehicles, although some suburban operators
use zone fares on some routes. An explanation of these is explained
below. A transfer may also be purchased when boarding the vehicle
that will allow you 2 hours of unlimited travel from the time you board
the first vehicle.
