How to use the 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 multiple-ride fare cards and the first use of any Day Pass or 31-Day Pass.
Swipe designated electronic fare cards through the swipe reader in the direction of the arrow with the magnetic stripe facing you. After your Day Pass or 31-Day 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 or Day Pass
Ask the driver to issue a transfer or Day Pass before paying fare. If the Passenger Display states additional money is needed, insert more money. Remove transfer from the Electronic Fare Card Slot.
Damaged Coins & Tokens
The Passenger Display tells you to retrieve your rejected coins and tokens from the Coin/Token Return Cup.
