Nevada County Transit Services is pleased to announce the introduction of Tap-to-Pay contactless fare payment systems on all Nevada County Connects buses, effective today, Monday, March 31.
The Tap-to-Pay system allows customers to pay for their bus ride using contactless-enabled Visa or Mastercard payments, including debit cards, credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and smartwatches. Paying for the bus is now as easy as paying for a coffee!
The Tap-to-Pay system has a separate fare structure from the regular cash fare structure. Please take a moment to review the new fares.
If you are a senior (65+), disabled (Medicare cardholder), or a veteran, please visit www.nevadacountyca.gov/TaptoPay to register for a discounted fare.
Please be advised that due to digital limitations, we are unable to offer a youth/student discount on the Tap-to-Pay system at this time.
