Fares, passes, and transfers

SCT fares vary according to the length of a patron's trip. The transit system is divided into fare zones, wherein the fare depends upon the number of zones traveled. Kids below 6 ride for free with fare-paying rider; 3-kid limit applies. Notes: * Although the MonthlyPASS and the 31-DayPASS are valid for one month, there are certain differences between the two. ** The MonthlyPASS is an unlimited-ride pass good for the calendar month for which it is issued. The MonthlyPASS is nontransferable, and it is to be used only by the person for whom it was purchased. ** The 31-DayPASS is valid for 31 days from the date of first use, and it can be purchased through various sales outlets, online, in person, or at the SCT main office in Santa Rosa. * The 20-Ride CountywidePASS is a convenient 20-ride pass that eliminates the need to have the exact change for bus fare. The FastPASS is not discounted, however; it has the same value as paying cash fare. There is no expiration date for this PASS, and it is good on any Sonoma County Transit route for the number of zones purchased. * During the summer, SCT offers a Cruisin' Pass that allows unlimited rides to patrons 19 years old and younger.

SCT provides free transfers to passengers after paying a certain fare for the number of zones intended to travel, and it is valid for two (2) hours heading to the general direction of travel. Transferring from Santa Rosa CityBus, Petaluma Transit, and
