New Ten-Ride for 90-Days Ticket

August 8, 2022

Ten-rides just got more flexible! On August 1, 2022, we extended the life of our ten-ride tickets from 60 days to 90 days! Now, passengers will have 90 daysĀ from the ticketĀ startĀ dateĀ to complete up to 10Ā one-way trips between theĀ origin and destinationĀ stationsĀ indicated on theirĀ ticket.

Why We Made This Change
Our 10-ride ticket is ideal for people who use the service regularly, but not necessarily every day.Ā If you use all the rides within theĀ travel window, youā€™llĀ saveĀ about 30%Ā compared to purchasing a single one-way or round-trip ticket.

With many customers shifting to hybrid work schedules over the past two years, we realized that putting this kind ofĀ flexibility in place might be helpful. FaresĀ for the 10-ride ticketĀ will remain the same, and any tickets previously purchased with a 60-day period will be valid for the length of time purchased.

Upcoming Service Changes on the Horizon

August 5, 2022

As you have probably noticed, there have been several service updates sent out this past week, and while we do try to encapsulate them in one communication to minimize the number of emails and texts alerts, that is not always possible. Our goal is always to get information out to our riders when it becomes available to allow for a seamless travel experience. Below youā€™ll find some new updates as well as a recap of some you might have missed.
