How the CDTA bus fares work

The CDTA buses are a great bargain. The base fare is $1 (one dollar) per ride. A day pass for unlimited use for a day is $3.

The $1 base fare does not include transfers, so if your trip has more than three legs, buy a day pass. You can pay for single rides, and day passes, on the bus. You must have change or dollar bills. The drivers cannot make change.

You can also purchase a ten-ride swiper card for $9.50.

Seniors can obtain a card from the county that cuts these fares in half.

But these fares are for occasional riders. There are a number of options available for regular riders to reduce costs.

Swiper cards are available to provide for unlimited riding for $36 per month for five-days per week and for seven days a week for $44.

You can also buy half fare swipers for $18 and $22. Then you pay half the fare when you get on the bus.
