Transfer Information
Free transfers are available to passengers who need to switch buses to complete their trips on fixed routes. Please request your transfer from the bus driver when boarding the bus and paying your fare. Passengers may only request one transfer per paid fare. Transfers are free to riders between StaRT (fixed route), MAX (Modesto Area Express), CAT (Ceres Area Transit), Ceres Dial-A-Ride and BLST (Bus Line Service of Turlock). Transfers to eTrans (Escalon Transit) are .25 cents.
Transfers may not be used for the same bus route on which the transfer was issued. In addition, transfers may not be used to transfer onto Route 70 or between Routes 10 and 15. Passengers are not able to transfer onto the Shuttle or Dial-A-Ride services except for Ceres Dial-A-Ride. You may transfer onto the Runabout Service for fixed route stops only.
Transfers are valid for four (4) hours from time of issue. Transfers can only be used for the continuation or extension of a current trip in one direction and may not be used for a return trip.
