Starting this month, you may notice some buses have new fare boxes. These boxes will now accept dollar bills in addition to coins and pennies! By the end of August 2026 all the buses in our fleet will have the new fare boxes for you to use. These boxes are for cash only and are in addition to the new OMNY system.
