TARTA offers several different fare types and purchase options to best meet your needs when using the fixed-route and paratransit system. All pass and regular ticket purchases can be made on the bus, through EZfare/Transit App, or at the TARTA Transit Hub but do not qualify or count toward fare-capping. Riders can only access fare-capping through the TARTA Card, or Tap & Ride through EZfare or Transit App.

What Is EZFare?
App-based Purchase
The EZfare App allows riders to purchase daily, weekly or monthly passes online or through their mobile phones here.
You can purchase fares online, without the app by navigating to the EZFare website and choose TARTA.
The EZfare app supplements all existing fare purchase locations and options.
The app is designed specifically for public transit users – meaning once a ticket is purchased, it is available even without an internet connection, so riders without data plans or limited data plans, are always able to travel.
