Fares, Transfers, and Passes
To board a VINE bus, a passenger must either provide a pass, transfer slip or pay a cash fare. VINE offers discount passes in 31-day and 20-punch formats. A 31-day pass offers unlimited rides for 31 consecutive days from the first day of use on regular routes (1 through 25); there are two separate types of 31-day passes for Route 29. A punch pass offers offers 20 punches, where one punch is used to board a regular bus, while punches differ on Route 29. Transfer slips are issued to passengers who pay cash fare or use punch passes. They are used to transfer from one regular route to another without the need to pay an additional fare or punch; however a transfer is not valid between Routes 10 and 11. They can be used on express buses for an additional charge. If no pass or transfer is presented, a cash fare must be paid. Below lists the fare and pass prices for routes 1 through 11, in USD.

Famous quotes containing the word passes:
“The zoo cannot but disappoint. The public purpose of zoos is to offer visitors the opportunity of looking at animals. Yet nowhere in a zoo can a stranger encounter the look of an animal. At the most, the animal’s gaze flickers and passes on. They look sideways. They look blindly beyond.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
