TRANSFERS
Transfers are only available when a passenger is changing routes to complete a trip. Transfers will not be issued for the same route.

When boarding the bus, riders are asked to tell the driver that they are changing routes to complete their trip. The passenger will pay the full fare to travel to their final destination and the driver will issue the rider a transfer.

For example: If you board the Valley 4 at the Highland Terrace and want to then board the Valley 1 to Wal Mart, you pay $2 full fare and ask the driver for a transfer. When you board the Valley 1 to Wal Mart, hand the driver your transfer slip as your payment
