New Passes for Senior Citizens and People with Disabilities
Metro Transit

Metro Transit is pleased to announce the introduction of new reloadable value bus passes for senior citizens and people with disabilities.  Punch passes are being discontinued.  Make the change in a few simple steps:

1.  Bring your old reduced fare ID card to the Kalamazoo Transportation Center (KTC) and exchange it for a new card.

2.  Add value directly to the new ID card if you'd like to.  You can add as much or as little money to the card as you'd like.  Or, just use the card as an ID for reduced cash fare.

3.  Board the bus and tap the card on the bullseye located on the farebox as you enter.  $.75 will be deducted from the value on the card.  If you haven't added value to the card, then deposit your $.75 in the farebox and show the card to the driver, as you always have.

Helpful Tips

  • Any time you want to add value to your card, bring the card to the customer service counter at the KTC.  You must bring the card to add value to it.
  • The first card replaces your old ID free (bring the old ID with you to obtain the new card).  There will be a $10 replacement fee to replace lost cards.
  • The value on the card can only be used by the person to whom the card is issued.
