EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 1, 2012
(Wednesday)

Beginning February 1, 2012, all Tri-Rail EASY Card customers who transfer to Palm Tran or Broward County Transit (BCT) can obtain a “Transfer to Bus” ticket to receive a transfer discount.  This new feature will greatly benefit Tri-Rail EASY Card users.

To get the “Transfer to Bus” ticket, passengers must tap on prior to boarding Tri-Rail and tap off after exiting the train. This includes monthly pass holders. Once tapped off correctly, passengers must tap their card on a Ticket Vending Machine (TVM) target and select “Reload/Transfer to Bus” from the menu screen. From the next menu, select “Transfer to Bus” and then select either Palm Tran or BCT. The “Transfer to Bus” ticket will print automatically and will be dispensed in the tray at the bottom of the TVM.  Passengers should give their ticket to the bus operator to obtain their transfer discount.

EASY Card customers who do not have a “Transfer to Bus” ticket will not receive a transfer discount and will be charged the full bus fare. Receipts will no longer be accepted for transfer discounts. Customers who use a Tri-Rail paper ticket will continue to show it to the bus operator to obtain their discount. The “Transfer to Bus” ticket is only valid for a discount when transferring at a Tri-Rail station or nearest bus stop that serves a Tri-Rail station.
