Contactless Fare Payment

Tap to ride with Visa

Redwood Coast Transit Authority (RCTA) has introduced contactless fare payment technology on its buses.

Visa and Mastercard contactless-enabled bank cards and mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Fitbit Pay) are accepted.

Cash and monthly passes are still accepted as well.

To tap to ride using the same method of contactless payment on each trip:

  • Local routes 1, 2, 3, & 4: Tap the payment reader as you board the bus, then exit the bus normally (no need to tap again).
  • For routes 20 and 199: Tap the payment reader as you board the bus, and tap it again as you exit. Your fare will be calculated based on the distance you travel. Ensure you use the same contactless payment method for tapping on and off the bus.

If traveling in a group, each rider must pay their fare separately. Don’t use the same contactless payment method for multiple riders.

Contactless payments are safe and secure.
