The smarter way to save money automatically
Fare capping is one of the best features of the Holo Card. Every time you pay a fare, it counts toward earning a pass. Once you've paid enough fares to equal the cost of a pass, you automatically get that pass for free!
If you're a daily commuter, you automatically earn a monthly pass:
Visiting for a week? Just tap and go. If you take enough rides, you'll automatically get a 7-day pass without having to calculate or purchase upfront!
Children under 5 years old ride free on TheBus, Skyline, and Handi-Van. No Holo Card needed!
Yes, cash is accepted on TheBus ($3 exact change), but you won't get the benefits of fare capping. Cash is NOT accepted on Skyline rail - Holo Card is required.
No! Every fare includes 2.5 hours of unlimited transfers. Switch buses as many times as needed within that window.
The day cap runs from 2:59 AM to 2:59 AM the next day (not midnight to midnight).
No, each rider needs their own Holo Card. The card is non-transferable and designed for individual use.
Perfect! Just load a small amount and pay per ride. The fare capping system ensures you never overpay, even as an occasional rider.
Students ages 6-19 (with high school enrollment proof) qualify for youth fares. College students pay adult fares unless they qualify for other reduced fare categories.
