Bus passes
Bus pass holders travel free at most times. The usual time restrictions apply, see: When you can use your bus pass.
You must show your bus pass when boarding and tap it on the on-board ticket machine. If no pass is shown, you will need to pay the standard fare. Bus pass holders should still cancel rides if travel plans change.
