Clarifying Bus Fare Information
Hi there! I visited a friend yesterday (Saturday) and took the #50 bus, tapping my card as I boarded. Later, I transferred to the #600, where I tapped again.
Can someone explain if I need to stay on the same bus to reach the fare cap? Thanks!
It sounds like you’re trying to understand how fare capping works for your bus rides. Typically, fare capping allows you to only be charged a certain amount for your rides within a specific time frame, and this can often apply even if you switch buses.
In your case, since you tapped on the #50 and then tapped again on the #600, as long as you’re using the same transit system and the rides are within the fare cap period (usually a day), you should still be eligible for fare capping. However, policies can vary based on the transit authority, so it’s always a good idea to check their official website or contact customer service for clarification regarding specific rules.
If you’re in doubt, keep your receipts and tap records handy. They will help you if you need to dispute a fare or confirm your expenses.
