Discounted Fares:

Discounted fare is available to those aged 6 to 17, seniors aged 60 and over, persons with disabilities, and those with Medicare cards. A driver’s license or non-driver’s identification card issued by the Vermont DMV may be required to prove eligibility of age.

Children under 6 may ride local buses free when accompanying a fare-paying passenger. This does not apply to LINK Express buses.

Transfers:

GMT no longer offers free transfers because fares will be capped at $4 per day for regular fare riders or $2 for discount fare riders.

Purchasing Fares:

You can purchase fares on the Ride Ready by GMT mobile app. GMT smart card users can add value online at RideGMT.com/RideReady, or add cash to their card at the Downtown Transit Center or GMT Administrative Office.

Passengers can use open payment methods such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and contactless chip-enabled credit and debit cards from Visa, Discover, and Mastercard. At this time, open payment methods will not cap.

Cash will continue to be accepted on-board our vehicles. Passengers need exact fare when boarding as drivers cannot make change. Additionally, we cannot cap fares for cash payments.
