Bus routes operated by UMass Transit are fare-free for Five College students, faculty and staff. For the general public, fares are on a proof-of-payment "honor system". Bus drivers will not collect fares/passes, but passengers are expected to have either a valid Five College student, faculty or staff ID cards or a fare ticket/pass for each ride.
Tickets and passes may be purchased by contacting PVTA customer service, or buy online at Buying Monthy Passes and Van Tickets Online.
