VIA's New Fare Structure Starts January 1, 2016

The new fare structure provides discounts for VIA’s riders, including a lower-priced Day Pass, a new 7-Day Pass, and an expansion to the reduced-fare eligibility to include active-duty members of the military.

VIA’s Day Pass has been reduced from $4 to $2.75, which means customers will be able to ride VIA for an entire day for what it would cost for one round trip with a transfer. In addition, a new 7-Day Pass will be available and will sell for $12.

VIA has also expanded the reduced-fare eligibility to include active-duty military personnel. Now members of the military will be able to take advantage of VIA’s reduced fares if they ride the bus while in uniform or with a VIA reduced fare ID card.

This is the first set of changes to VIA'S fare structure in almost three years. When the changes take effect on January 2016, VIA will still have among the lowest fares in the nation.
