General Fares

Our fare boxes accept COTA issued passes and transfer as well as cash only – both  bills and coins. Be sure to have exact change when boarding.

Transfers

Customers who purchase a single-trip bus fare can transfer to another bus route of the same type or same route in the same direction without charge. Transfers are valid for two hours from time of issue. Transfers between bus types, such as from a Local to an Express route, are subject to an up-charge. Ask your bus operator for transfers when you board the bus.

Passes

If you plan to ride regularly, COTA offers one-day, seven-day and monthly bus passes. You can buy an adult one-day pass on the bus. Buy the rest at participating Kroger and Giant Eagle stores and COTA Connection, 60 E. Broad Street.
