Fares

HOLO – One Fare Structure for both TheBus and Skyline

While using cash gets you a ride on TheBus (no transfers), using your HOLO card gets you a cheaper ride and gives you a 2-hour pass to transfer between buses and Skyline.

The HOLO card also offers daily and monthly fare capping, and annual, monthly, 3-day and 7-day passes on both TheBus and Skyline. Click on the fare categories below to learn what option works best for you.

A fare-paying rider (cash or HOLO card) is allowed to bring one (1) child 5 years of age and under for FREE.

In the long run, the HOLO card saves you money with reduced fare for certain riders, fare capping and pass options. Stored cash value on your HOLO Card allows you to earn your way to the day or month pass you need one ride at a time.

Visit www.holocard.net for more information on obtaining and managing your HOLO card.
