YOLOBUS MAGNETIC FARE MEDIA CHANGES GO INTO EFFECT FRIDAY, JULY 1

 

 

Yolo County Transportation District (YCTD), administer of Yolobus, will
be implementing a new magnetic swipe card fare media payment system.

 

New magnetic swipe cards can be read electronically on all Yolobus
fixed-route buses.  Yolobus Monthly Passes with magnetic strips are
easily read by the fareboxes.  Riders simply swipe their pass as they
board the bus.  If riding a Yolobus Express Route, riders will need to
present their express sticker to the driver after swiping.

 

Yolobus Magnetic Cash-Value Tickets will be replacing paper tickets.
They are available in $10, $20, and $30 values and are a convenient
alternative to carrying cash while also allowing passengers to board
quickly and easily.  Riders simply insert their Ticket into the farebox
and inform the driver how much to deduct based on fares.  Riders can
purchase either a Single Ride or a Day Pass with their Cash-Value
Ticket.  Discount fares are available with valid identification.

 

Riders who have "old" Cash-Value Tickets with $1, $2, or $3 values and
have a "06-30-11" expiration date can use the Tickets on Yolobus until
July 31, 2011.  You can exchange your "old" Tickets for the new Magnetic
Tickets at the YCTD office or by mail.
