Fares & Passes

While FAX passengers and employees are no longer required to wear masks while onboard our buses, masks are welcome and remain an important preventive measure against COVID-19. We encourage passengers to wear masks for their protection while riding FAX.

FAX and Handy Ride will continue disinfecting all vehicles on a nightly basis and maintain sanitizing efforts at major transit hubs around the city.

FAX buses accept cash, passes, and transfers.
