About Day Passes
|
|
About Single-Rides
|
Day Passes are sold on BREEZE buses and at SPRINTER station Ticket Vending Machines. To purchase a Day Pass, insert exact change into the bus's farebox. Before you put your money in tell the driver how many Day Passes you will be purchasing. You can use the Day Pass issued from the farebox or the Ticket Vending Machine on BREEZE, SPRINTER and FAST services all day long.
 |
|
To purchase a single-ride, insert exact change into the farebox on any BREEZE bus. You will not be printed a pass - single trip fares are for only one bus and can not be used to transfer to another bus or the SPRINTER. |
Exact Fares Required
|
|
Transfers to other bus systems
|
| Our drivers cannot make change and they do not carry cash. Fareboxes do
not dispense change. Please have your exact fare ready when you get on
the bus. Fares are subject to change. There are no refunds. |
|
Transfers to other BREEZE buses were discontinued with the introduction
of the Day Pass. Inter-agency transfers to MTS are no longer available. Instead, purchase either a $5 or $11 regional Day Pass on the bus. Transfers to OCTA from BREEZE
buses are available upon request (ask your driver). |

HOW TO RECEIVE AN NCTD REDUCED FARE I.D. CARD
If you are a person with a disability:
1) Call or visit NCTD Customer Service at (760) 966-6500 to obtain an application.
2) Have an authorized agency or qualified/certified health care professional complete their part of the form. (If you have a DMV placard I.D. card, VA letter that states you are 50% or more disabled or current SSI award letter, you only need to bring it with you.)
3) Bring the completed form and picture ID to Customer Service at 810 Mission Avenue in Oceanside (weekdays, 8 am ’Äì 4:30pm) or the Escondido Transit Centers (weekdays, 7am-7pm).
Note: Please call 760-966-6500 or 967-2875 before coming and confirm we are able to take your photo and issue you a card. For example, Escondido Transit Center is not able to issue cards 3 business days before and after the first of the month.
When eligibility has been established, we will issue an NCTD Reduced Fare I.D. Card.
These cards are initially free, but there is a fee for replacements.
Show NCTD Reduced Fare I.D. Card to the driver as you board the bus and you
will be entitled to pay the reduced cash fare. You may also use this
card to purchase a Senior/Disabled/Medicare Regional Monthly Pass. Your card is also valid to purchase a COASTER
Senior/Disabled/Medicare Monthly Pass.
