Count buses, not errands

GLTC lists a $2 full-fare single ride with no transfer and a $4 full-fare day pass that expires at midnight. Two boardings therefore total $4 in singles; four total $8.

Those examples are arithmetic from posted fares, not a live route plan.

A direct outward and return journey is different from a journey needing a bus change each way. Draw both directions before comparing products, and check that the return timetable fits the appointment.

Discount and payment conditions are separate

The posted half fares are $1 for a single ride and $2 for a day pass with GLTC half-fare identification. Children under 45 inches ride free with a paying adult; the page uses height, not an age cutoff.

The Transfer Station accepts card purchases only above $10, and damaged, lost or stolen passes are not replaced. Confirm payment arrangements before traveling there to buy a pass.

This guide does not determine eligibility or certify a connection, seat or service on a particular day.
