Beginning in June, Connect Transit riders will use new electronic fare boxes when boarding a bus.
Customers will be able to pay for rides with a magnetic strip card. Riders can also continue to use Connect Transit issued passes or cash. Bus tokens will be phased out beginning in May and no longer accepted after June 3rd.
Monthly 'Fast Passes' already purchased will work until June and any remaining credit can be transferred to a new mag-strip card after June.
Connect Transit says the change will make paying more convenient for passengers, and will make it easier for the system to get accurate rider data
