Did you know you can transfer from KRTplus to a fixed-route bus for free?

If you ride KRTplus to connect with a KRT bus line, your transfer is free as long as you board the fixed-route bus within 60 minutes of boarding KRTplus and pay your fare using the Transit app or KRT Blue Card.

Here’s how it works:
🚌 Pay the $1.50 KRTplus fare using the Transit app or a KRT Blue Card.
⏱️ Board your connecting fixed-route bus within 60 minutes.
🎉 Your fixed-route transfer is free.

To qualify, you must use the Transit app or a KRT Blue Card to pay your fare. Cash payments and paper tickets don’t qualify for the free transfer.
