Free bus transfers are issued for connections with other DPTS routes. Transfers are issued only when a fare is paid and are valid only at the Transit Center and at other points where bus routes intersect. Transfers are issued to allow a passenger to make a complete one-way trip and are not intended to allow a passenger to make a return trip to the point of origin. Transfers must be used on the first connecting bus.
A 20 ride Punch Card and a Monthly Pass are also available. The Punch Card has no expiration date, while the Monthly Pass is good only in the month of issue.
