Beginning Sunday, April 18, Big Blue Bus will no longer accept paper passes on board.
This change is part of a pilot program to study cashless boarding, and further protect customers and staff. Instead, customers are strongly encouraged to make contactless fare payments with a TAP card, the TAP app, or a mobile ticket.
For a limited time, customers with an unused Big Blue Bus paper pass may exchange it for an equivalent pass on a TAP card or mobile ticket only, by visiting Blue: The Transit Store during regular hours of operation.
We have discounted Single Ride fares for those making contactless payments with TAP or a mobile tickets. More details: bigbluebus.com/contactless
