How to Pay

Riders have many choices when paying their fares. While fares can be paid onboard the bus with cash, contactless payment is more efficient and reduces bus boarding times—getting riders to their destinations faster. Contactless fare payment options include the Connect Card and the Transit Connect mobile app.

Connect Card

Connect Card is the Sacramento region’s electronic transit fare payment system and is accepted by most transit agencies in the Sacramento region. Connect Card readers are installed on all Yolobus and BeeLine vehicles.

To pay, tag the Connect Card reader with your card upon boarding the bus.
