Transfers occur when you must change buses and use more than one route to complete your trip. The BARTA system facilitates transfers at the BTC, but passengers can transfer at any point where multiple routes meet.
If you have to change from one bus to another to complete your one-way trip, ask the driver of your first bus for a transfer when you pay your fare. There is no charge for the transfer. You will need to give your transfer slip on the second bus. The transfer can be used until the latest time printed on it. A transfer cannot be used for a return trip on the same or nearby routes.
If the time to connect to your second bus is close, please ask the driver to notify dispatch to inform the bus driver of the second bus to expect you. Buses can only be held five minutes for transfer connections. Transfers are time stamped and must be used prior to the expiration time. Transfers are valid up to two hours. Passengers attempting to connect with other buses must be scheduled to arrive at or before the time of the departing bus. This is a legal transfer. If the bus the passenger is riding is not scheduled to arrive before the connecting bus is scheduled to leave, the connecting bus will not be held.
