What to know first
01
One card per traveler
The safest choice is for each person to use a separate card. Paying for a group with one card can limit transfer discounts, especially when connecting to the subway.
02
Tap out, even on your final bus
Tap when getting off even if you will not transfer. A missed exit tap can cause an extra fare or break your next transfer discount.
How to get the transfer discount
- 1
Use the same transit card
Tap the same eligible card when you board and when you get off.
- 2
Check the time after tapping off
The local transfer window usually starts from your exit tap.
- 3
Board the next eligible service
Transfer within the limit and check route, count, and operator restrictions.
