New Punch Cards & Single Ride Tickets Now Available
for Sacramento Fare Increase Effective July 1st

June 1, 2010

Yuba-Sutter Transit's Sacramento Commuter and Midday Express services will have a new fare structure beginning July 1st. The monthly Sacramento pass will increase from $112 to $128, while the combined Sacramento pass for unlimited use of both Yuba-Sutter Transit and the Sacramento Regional Transit District will increase from $162 to $178.

The basic one-way cash fare will increase from $3.50 to $4.00 for both the Sacramento Commuter and Midday services. The cost of the 20-ride Sacramento punch card will increase from $70 to $80 with this fare increase. The discount cash fare for seniors and persons with disabilities with valid identification, which is available only on the Sacramento Midday service, will increase from $1.75 to $2.00.

Existing $70 punch cards will be accepted on all Sacramento buses through December 31, 2010 though an additional $0.50 cash fare will be required with each use. For convenience, new or partially used $70 punch cards can also be returned to the Yuba-Sutter Transit Administrative Office through December 31, 2010 in exchange for like-value in new punch cards, monthly passes or tickets. The old $70 punch cards will not be accepted or exchanged after December 31, 2010.

The new $80 punch cards and $4.00 single ride tickets are now available only at the Yuba-Sutter Transit office. By June 15th, all local Yuba-Sutter Transit pass outlets will stock the new punch cards along with the July monthly passes. At that time, the old $70 punch cards will then only be available from the Yuba-Sutter Transit Administrative Office.
