Using Outdated Products

CONNECTCARD

The ConnectCard is our smart card that provides a more convenient and secure way to pay your fare. The ConnectCard can store a variety of fare options, including passes and cash value. Using a ConnectCard instead of cash provides you with three hours of unlimited transfers for the same price as a single trip.

ConnectCard Monthly Pass

If you purchased a monthly pass on your ConnectCard BEFORE January 1 to use in January 2022, some of our systems, including ConnectCard machines and retail locations, will not allow you to purchase a 7-Day or 31-Day pass to use in February while the January pass is still active on your card because your pass is a fare product from our former fare structure. Once your January pass expires, you will be able to purchase a new 7-Day or 31-Day pass to your ConnectCard, as well as add a pending pass, without issue.

If you are not able to wait until your current monthly pass expires to purchase a new pass, and need to have an alternate fare option in advance of February 1, the following options are available:

 - Add a pending 7-Day or 31-Day pass online at manage.connectcard.org
 - Add stored value to your ConnectCard
 - Purchase a 3-Hour Pass, Day Pass or 7-Day Pass ConnecTix
 - Use mobile ticketing (for bus and incline riders)
 - Visit the Downtown Service Center at 623 Smithfield Street to receive a second ConnectCard free of charge, and purchase a second monthly pass ready to use for February

This does not affect customers who purchased fare products after January 1.

ConnectCard Autoload Feature

Since the new weekly and monthly passes only become active when you first use them, you'll no longer be able to have these passes automatically load onto your ConnectCard on a given day or date.

If you are currently signed up for a pass that loads automatically each month, your subscription will be canceled.

You can still automatically load up to $200 in stored value on your ConnectCard on a recurring schedule.

Stored cash value is money loaded onto your ConnectCard to pay for transit rides. Cash value stored on your ConnectCard is deducted to pay your fare (and transfer) when you tap your card at a farebox. For example, if you load $20 of stored cash value onto your ConnectCard, then take a ride, $2.75 will be deducted from your card, leaving a balance of $17.25.

If you are signed up for a recurring reloading of stored value, it will continue as usual.

CONNECTIX

ConnecTix and Other Fare Products

ConnecTix are limited-use paper tickets that can only be purchased at ConnectCard machines. ConnecTix are designed for visitors and occasional riders, and can be tapped to the fare box just like a regular ConnectCard.

Riders who before January 1 purchased a single-trip ConnecTix, a 10-trip ConnecTix, a trip + transfer ConnecTix or any other product that does not transition to the new fare structure at a ConnectCard machine will still be able to use that fare product for the number of trips at the time of purchase until it expires. (For example, a single-trip ConnecTix will not include free transfers for up to three hours; a trip + transfer ConnecTix will only provide one trip and one transfer).


How to Check Your Fare Product's Expiration

Conveniently check the expiration of your fare product at the fare box.  

If you are using a 7-Day or 31-Day pass: The expiration date and time will show after tapping your card. The expiration time will be the end of service on the date your pass expires.

If you are using stored value: When you first tap your fare product the fare box will display the fare that is being deducted for that ride, the expiration date and remaining balance on your card.

You will also be able to check the expiration of your fare product online at manage.connectcard.org (if your ConnectCard is registered online), on a ConnectCard machine, or on your mobile app if you are using a mobile ticket or pass.
