Fare
The current Suffolk County Transit base fare for most one-way local bus travel is $2.00. For seniors and the disabled, the base fare is $0.75; personal care attendants (PCA) may ride for free when traveling with seniors or the disabled. Students with school-issued identification pay a reduced fare of $1.25. Children under five years of age are free, with a limit of three children for every adult. On routes S92 and 10C, the base fare is $2.25
Fare payment is conducted with the use of coins or paper currency, and must be exact. Bus transfers cost an additional $0.25, and must be requested and paid for upon boarding the bus. These transfers are valid for two hours after issue and can be used on Suffolk County Transit connecting routes, or to Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE) connecting routes with a special transfer request slip (transfers to NICE require payment of a "step-up" fare).
