TRANSIT

effortlessly

EZfare is comprised of 15 transit systems– Laketran, MCPT, METRO RTA, PARTA, SARTA, TARTA, Lancaster-Fairfield Public Transit, BCRTA, METRO, Sandusky Transit, TANK, AAATA, CARTS, KRT and GCRTA.

Every week, thousands of transit riders utilize these transit systems, going to work, school, medical appointments, shopping centers, museums and thousands of other locations. Many of these trips are across county lines and require passengers to purchase multiple fare types and get transfers.

EZfare makes transit simple and easier.

step five

USING YOUR TICKET

Go to your “Ticket Wallet” and select the ticket(s) that you want to use. Activate your ticket just prior to boarding. Your phone will become your ticket and you can show it to your driver to get on-board. (EZFare Validators available on some buses).
You have 30 minutes to utilize your ticket. You DO NOT have to be online to activate your ticket.

EZfare Validators available on some buses…

USING YOUR TICKET

Scan the barcode on the EZfare validator when boarding the bus.

SCANNING YOUR TICKET

The barcode needs to face the

scanner. When the screen turns

green you can board the bus. A red screen means there may be an issue with your ticket that needs addressed.

TAP & RIDE

EZfare is transforming how people pay for their journeys by delivering seamless and convenient rider experiences. Instead of needing to buy a ticket or select a fare before traveling, fare capping allows riders to travel across any EZfare agency by simply tapping their EZfar card or phone on the validator before boarding, removing the stress of purchasing tickets.
