Transfers
If you need to change buses to complete your trip, ask the driver for a transfer when you board the first bus and pay your fare. There is a 25¢ (10¢ for elders, disabled and children) additional charge for a transfer. Transfers cannot be used for a return trip.

If you regularly need to transfer, you should consider purchasing a 31 day pass which include free transfers.

Employee Pass Program
The WRTA Employee Pass Program can be provided by your employer. It’s a great way to make commuting easier. If your company is currently paying for employee parking, a bus pass program could save money – there are tax benefits as well. Instituting the Employee Bus Pass Program satisfies MDEP’s Rideshare Regulation 310 CMG 7.16. Please contact us with questions on this program: 508-791-WRTA (9782).
