Hafa Adai Mr. Hackett,

in reference to your suggestion of 1 hole punch on the tickets purchased and three-way conversation between driver, passenger and dispatcher:

GRTA offers tickets for purchase in lieu of cash fares (One Ride, One Day, Weekly, One Month).

When a rider purchases a ticket for use on our services, the driver IF the ticket is:

a One Ride – takes the ticket from the rider when the rider gets on the bus and makes note of the ticket received

a Day Pass – on the First trip of the day the rider decides to use the ticket, the driver makes note on the day the rider uses the ticket. This ticket will be given back to the rider for the remainder of his/her day for other rides if needed/scheduled, this ticket is then taken by the driver on the LAST trip of that day specified

a Week Pass – this is the same process as the Day Pass. The only difference is this ticket will last for a duration of 7 days including holidays and Sundays. Driver will make a note on the ticket when it is the first day of use and will take from rider on the last ride of the last day of use, 7 days later. Driver makes not of expiration date of ticket.

a Month Pass – this is also the same process as the Day Pass. The only difference is this ticket will last for the duration of 31 days including holidays and Sundays. Driver will make a note on the ticket when it is the first day of use and will take from rider on the last ride of the last day of use, 31 days later. Driver makes note of expiration date of ticket.

This is due to riders purchasing tickets ahead of the time they actually start to use the ticket.

Hope this helps

The biggest problems passengers face has a simple solution. With all the different bus lines most Riders have to make multiple connections, so when a bus goes down or it’s late multiple Riders day is ruined. but if all lines were combined into one line this problem would be solved
