So, You Wanna Ride the FAX Bus: A Guide to Fresno's Finest (and Most Affordable) Ride
Fresno's got sunshine, it's got culture (trust us), and most importantly, it's got the FAX bus! But before you hop on board that bright orange chariot and yell "Beam me up, Scotty!" (wrong city, buddy), you might be wondering: how much does this magic carpet ride cost?
How Much Is The Fresno Fax Bus |
The Fare Deal:
Here's the skinny: a base cash fare will set you back a cool $1.00. That's right, a buck! You can practically buy a whole gumball with the change you get back (inflation, people, inflation).
Free Riders Rejoice!
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
Hold your horses, there's more! For our esteemed seniors (65 and over), people with disabilities, and Medicare cardholders, the ride is completely free thanks to a grant from the benevolent folks at Kaiser Permanente Fresno. You guys rock! Just remember to show your ID when you board.
Student Superstars:
Calling all Fresno's brainy bunch! Students at Fresno Unified School District, State Center Community College District, and Fresno State can high-five themselves because they get to ride for free as well. Just show your valid student ID and voila! More money for textbooks (or, you know, pizza).
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
Fancy a Fancier Fare Option?
Feeling a bit bourgeois? FAX offers monthly passes for $22. Not only will it save you time fumbling for change every ride, but you'll also look oh-so-sophisticated flashing that plastic at the bus driver.
How to Avoid Fare Faux Pas:
- Bring exact change: FAX buses are like stubborn vending machines; they don't make change.
- Download the app: The My FAX Bus 2.0 app [there might be an app] lets you buy fares and passes with your phone. No more rummaging for quarters!
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
